No what is sad is that California conservatives still in the McClintock camp come hell or high water are going to be completely shut out of the party if they succeed in losing two gubernatorial elections in two years to the same incumbent with a 30% approval rating. THAT is why so many California conservatives are backing AS. They are smart enough to know that they got their way with Simon and they will not get away with it again. Arnold aside, I would think that in the largest state in the country, conservatives would have been grooming someone other than a 20 year political hack. Is McClintock and Simon the best conservatives can come up with?
