Mr. McClintock has gradually emerged as the strong, third-place vote getter in polls - rising (at 14-to-18 points) while the two leaders - fellow Republican Schwarzenegger (26 points) and Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (28 points) - tread water.

Yep them 3rd place voter getters are winners everytime.... and about a dime a dozen I'd guess.........

It would be nice for them to point out which tread water polls they are using....

I guess the endorsements that are coming McClintock's way may help get him over the top.... Maybe that is the hope.

Jesse Ventura was able to win in a shocker after consistently polling in third place.
