There is no way that Tom will run for Senate...he knows the State but is not fluent in Federal issues.
The Republican Elite may offer Tom the Senate seat, but beware of what the Republican Elite tell you, or in other words, protect your back.
The Republican Elite has sold their soul to Arnold, and will sell their collective souls to whichever candidate they think could beat Boxer and right now they claim McClintock is "unelectable"...so what will change?
