Polls indicate that had Arnold not entered, McClintock would have handily won over Cruz and California would have ended up with a conservative governor.

Oh really? If Arnold hadn't entered the race, then chances are, Issa or Simon would still be in the race and ahead of McClintock. Many Californians had never heard of McC.

If Arnold hadn't entered the race, then chances are, Issa or Simon would still be in the race and ahead of McClintock.

And had any one of them won, we would have ended up with a conservative governor. Hence, Arnold turns out to be the spoiler for conservatives.

AND, if God Almighty had entered the race, he would probably be a 85% to 15% favorite. The fact is, that Arnold (the lesser conservative) will not bow out, and neither will McClintock, it seems. Thus we conservatives must align behind Arnold, who has the best chance of defeating Busto. I say this with deep regret as a McClintock supporter and contributor. The war is more significant than the battle at hand.
