"I say, 'Wait a minute.... Ross Perot was an idle millionaire, with no public-policy experience who one day on a whim entered the presidential race.' That sounds like another candidate in this race ... not me," he says, referring to muscleman/millionaire Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Thank you for the ping. This is a most excellent post. I'm so sorry it will be spoiled soon. The man who wrote it spoke truth and repeated much of what has been said by Tom supporters here on FreeRepublic.

I hope that you will get some intelligent discourse on this thread before it gets spammed to death.

Tom had a great opportunity last night and he blew it.

He should have stood up, stated that he believed that he was the best qualified candidate, but that Arnold was clearly a more popular candidate and qualified to be the governor, so he was bowing out and throwing his support to Arnold.

The lights were bright, he could have looked good.
