Well said Doug. If you can't get elected, you're nothing in conservative politics because you can't effect change for the better. Tom could have played this in a way that would have really launched his career as a national political figure, but he showed he's just an amateur. Something always beats nothing, and 70% always beats 0%.

If Arnold wins, we have a seat at the table. You get nothing done if you are locked outside in the cold.
