McClintock wouldn't win even with Arnold out of the race. It's too soon after the Simon debacle to think things have changed much in this state.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Simon lost becasue of stumbles by Rob Lapsley and Ed Rollins, mostly the photo incident. That couldn't possibly be tied to McClintock.

It certainly doesn't appear to be the same state which elected Reagen. The state has become a magnate for wackos.

A conservative like McClintock with a 45% D - 35% R - rest Independent voter demographic. IF Tom can make it DESPITE this fact, bless his heart and I wish him all the luck in the world. In fact, you might hear me cheering from the East coast. It just doesn't appear possible, barring a miricle.

And no, I'm not one of those loudly advocating his withdrawl yet.

Yea, I guess you are right. It was foolish of me to even think such a thing.

What was the reason for the recall in the first place?

Let me guess, it wasn't to bail California out of it's financial demise, no it was to posture a political party in the "great state" right?

Sorry for my lack of knowlege referencing California, but I don't live there. I am just a citizen of the same country.
