"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?"

Or even California.

Smells ad hoc. I'll check on Monday.

McClintock is a good man, but not Thomas More. And Schwarzenegger and his supporters aren't Richard Rich. Most fundamentally, however, voting for a compromise candidate isn't forfeiting one's soul. I looked it up.

It is false to think that the route to salvation lies in politics.

Politics is about choosing the best feasible option among, most likely, several bad ones. There is no point in chasing afutile ideal.

Salvation, both personal and cultural, is not in a ballot box.

It seems to me that most Arnold supporters understand that McClintock embraces the same conservative values that they do, and they understand that McClintock is (obviously) the far more qualified candidate. However.....

The Arnold supporters are an extremely desperate crew at this point. Since Arnold's celebrity gives him an opportunity to win, they view Arnold as a convenient tourniquet - - that is, he is the nearest rag they can find to stop the bleeding.

Normally, once you stop the bleeding you then get the victim to an experienced doctor for the real mending. I have yet to read one Arnold supporter say what comes after Arnold stops the bleeding. What's the plan?
