you wrote: "But having said that, I have no doubt that this race would be a dead heat right now if everyone who claimed to be conservative had stayed on our side of the lines instead of defecting to a liberal."


Assuming that by "liberal" you mean Arnold [and since he is not a liberal, but neither is he a conservative, those appellations are both incorrect in reference to Arnold],
you are incorrect.

The conservatives in California are greatly outnumbered. There is NO evidence that Tom could beat Busty straight up, and ALL the polls indicate exactly the opposite.

Thus, since Arnold has a fighting chance of winning, conservatives have a quandary: do they stick by their guns and vote for an un-electable, thus possibly ending up with Busty, or do they vote for the non-conservative/non-liberal Arnold and have at least a Republican in office, thus advancing some, but by no means all, conservative principles??

Again I will tell you, Arnold is a stonecold liberal. Before these small, very small, scraps were thrown out during this campaign for his shills to use to fool Republicans, every statement, every action, marks him as a leftist. Even his own words do that.

Too believe that A.S. is not a liberal, you have to abandon every bit of fidelity to the English language as it is spoken in America in 2003.

Y'all keep saying Tom is 'unelectable', but that is only your opinion, not holy writ.

I've seen numbers move substantially in the last week of many campaigns...especially ones with large numbers of undecideds like this one.

Just got this in my inbox...

You are cordially invited to attend a press conference tomorrow, September 26th, with Arnold Schwarzenegger and a very special guest for an important announcement.

The event will be at the Southern California Volunteer Headquarters, located in Santa Monica. Please arrive at 9:00am . We will have coffee and donuts. Arnold is eager to have some of his strong supporters here to participate in this special announcement.

Issa endorsement most likely. Does anybody know where McClintock is going to be tomorrow morning?
