The polls show McClintock now does as well against Bustamante as Arnold.
A vote for Arnold is a vote for Bustamante - Only Tom Can Now Win - read the poll!
Tom McClintock has better favorable ratings than even Arnold now! Go Tom Go!
Remember those "conservative", and how about your infantile attack on Tom? It would appear your "Tom=Bustamante" canard you (R)nold Groupies have been trumpetting daily on here as the sole rationale for voting for RINO!d is the only Kamakazi cause still left around...
I can do it. Honest! If these meany RINOs would back off, all the crossover dems are dying to vote for me.How the Dems are helping Tom
One of the untold stories of this campaign is the degree to which Democrats have helped Tom McClintock stay competitive in the race to replace. Everyone by now knows that the casino gaming tribes, which clearly favor Bustamante, are helping McClintock in what appears to be a strategy of pulling votes away from Schwarzenegger. But Democrats also have given McClintock a completely free pass on policy positions he has taken that are opposed to everything Democrats believe in.
This is why it’s pure fantasy for McClintock fans to say their man could win if only Schwarzenegger would pull out and endorse him. If McClintock ever became a real threat, the Democrats would take off the gloves and pummel him with the same social issues that they used against Republican nominees Dan Lungren in 1998 and Bill Simon last year.
When it was disclosed that Schwarzenegger voted for Proposition 187 in 1994, Democrats labeled the immigrant actor anti-immigrant. But McClintock not only voted for that measure, he wants to revive it today by re-opening a federal court case that Davis settled in 1999. Yet I haven’t heard Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres blasting McClintock lately.
McClintock also opposes abortion and would refuse to fund Medi-Cal abortions for poor women. But we haven’t seen Code Pink or NOW dogging McClintock with protests at every event.
McClintock opposes gun control and gay rights and supports Proposition 54, the Racial Privacy Initiative. He wants to eliminate the state Coastal Commission, an icon for a generation of environmentalists. Not a peep from Democratic-leaning interest groups on those issues.
Finally, McClintock, despite his reputation as a master of fiscal detail, has taken liberties on the budget that would get a serious candidate in serious trouble. His contention during this week’s debate that he could cut $18 billion in bureaucratic waste from the state budget “without breaking a sweat” was laughable. There is definitely waste to be cut from the budget, but most of what the state spends from its $71 billion general fund goes to people providing services, such as teachers and doctors, or directly to the poor in welfare payments or aid to the aged, blind and disabled. Yet McClintock’s far-fetched claim went unchallenged by Democrats.
The Democrats are aiding and abetting McClintock, just as they helped Bill Simon in last year’s Republican primary, because they fear the election of a moderate Republican, and they know that such a development would help Republicans regain a foothold in California politics.

You mean Ray "Monte Hall" Haynes, don'tcha?
If THAT is the case then conservatism no longer exists.
T. McClintock has not faultered in his conservative beliefs and has done a fabulous job of conveying those beliefs. If T. McClintock can't win an election with his coviction then...well perhaps conservatism as we know it IS lost!
Sadly posted to say the least.
Home grown it appears.........
You are OUT OF GAS, and so pathetic CheneyChick.
You have taken to spamming. You have no issues, (probably never did.) You are the mind numbed robot that the Demos like to cast Conservatives as, and a discredit to the party and the cause.
You're perceived "best interests" of the Republican Party have made you corrupted, made you hated filled, made you an ugly person on here. Don't think I've forgotten your TOTAL RINO MELTDOWN ON HERE EARLIER http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/992305/posts?page=31#31
You were the one earlier when I exposed your hypocracy who's only comeback was to "kiss my a$$" talk about OUT OF GAS, you're falling apart! Let us go. If you think you can win without us, do it. But leave Tom and us alone.
Voting for a liberal candidate like Arnie will only further damage the credibility of the California GOP, in the minds of conservative and moderate conservative Republicans. If conservatives think they're being ignored, staying home on future election days is a viable option.
