Best of luck to you all. California needs people to get out and vote "YES" on recall.

Damn right he can win.

He just needs all the star-struck the people who think he'd be a good governor to actually have the guts to vote for him.

After reading the email from Ray Haynes about McC's ego and stubborn streak, I would not want to see him as governor of CA. I would prefer Issa or Simon than McC.

Read it. You guys like to highlight the moderate-to-liberals in Arnold's camp, but refuse to acknowledge the greater number of conservatives who support him. Your argument has been a lame one for about eight weeks now. Give it a rest.

Thanks for posting this.

If the California Republican leadership had come out early on for Tom McClintock, I believe theres a good chance, he'd be well ahead in all the polls right now. Let's look back just a short time ago. Without ever evaluating or analyzing Arnie's politics and where he stood on the issues, Californian's immediately went for Arnie. In the first poll released after he announced, people gave Arnie 23%. That 23% I suggest, came mostly from people who were fans of the pop cult icon and Hollywood superstar. Not from anything to do with his politics and stances on the issues.

I think the Califonria GOP has sold out their conservative principles and Republican convicitons to secure a victory over the liberal Democratic establishment in the Golden State. They've also sold out Tom McClintock, in order to support a liberal named Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Conservative Republican's have bitten the bullet on many occasions in the past, covering many election cycles. We have always tried to keep a positive, optimistic and winning attitude, with election victory as the target goal. Sometimes we've had to accept a candidate who was less then a full fledged conservative. At times we've backed a social moderate, who was a fiscal conservative. Other times we've even accepted a candidate who was, both a social and fiscal moderate. And on are occasion, conservatives have even tolerated a social liberal, who was also, a hardcore fiscal conservative. But this can only be carried so far, before you cross the centrist line on the American political spectrum and find yourself in the land of liberals and liberalism.

I think the California GOP and Republicans in general, have carried this to the extreme. Arnold's politics simply do not embrace the conservative agenda or advance the GOP party platform. And anyone who says Arnold is a conservative, who supports the GOP platform, better reevaluate their own political ideology and philosophy. Arnold's political agenda is closer to that of Teddy Kennedy, Tom Daschle and John F.Kerry, then it will ever be to that of Dick Cheney, George W.Bush and Ronald Reagan.

Other miracles that will happen on Tuesday:

1. Clintons become honest.
2. Ted Kennedy gives up booze and women.
3. Gray Doofus apologizes for his incompetence.
4. The Dalai Lama gets a ticker tape parade around Tiananmmen Square and is the new Chinese head of state.
5. Saddam surrenders and apologizes for his decades of bad behavior.
6. Dick Gephardt shows up for a House vote.
7. John Edwards shows up for a Senate vote.
8. Liberal Hollywood gets a clue.
9. The NAACP apologizes for all of its past racism against anyone who isn't black.
10. The Democrats become respectable.

I do not believe I have heard a single Republican supporter of Mr. Scharzenegger declare that he is the best qualified candidate or the preferred choice

I'd say about 30% of his supporters on FR feel this way. Pretty freakin' sad.

I do believe that Tom would make a fine governor and would vote for him if Arnold was not in the race.

Didn't you read the article? Sheeeeesh.

I am very disappointed in Ray Haynes, not to mention Senator Chuck Poochigian - both endorsed Schwarznkennedy. They are going to have to take the heat for it, though. Apparently, they have a personal axe to grind with McClintock.

Too bad they stabbed him in the back in favor of the Kennedy's. But then this is California.

Go, McClintock!
