Yep... they all like McClintock's platform... but they are also good at math.

So Arnold must be facing terrific pressure from the GOP to leave to race and endorse Tom since then we’ll be in a good position to elect the one candidate that can do what is best for California.

That's what you apparently don't understand...

Some of Arnold's support are from center voters that will NOT vote for a pro-life and anti-gay candidate.

Change the hearts of the VOTERS and then you can offer them more conservative candidates... you can't pull a coup with a candidate running on values that only match about 20% of the electorate.

The Arnold voters would be at least as likely to go to Bustamante, or nowhere, as to McClintock should Arnold quit. These are not all Republicans that Arnold has sequestered and can be delivered on demand to McClintock.
