Those are amazing numbers given the fact that there's another "Republican" in the race.

Had that other guy not decided at his whimsy not to run, McClintock would be 57% or better in the polls.

Probably better, because conservatives who prefer to be left alone, will come out to vote for that guy.

There is no Primary in this election. So, your thoughts that McClintock would be 57% or better in the polls is neither here nor there. I'm not discounting it...just saying it doesn't matter in this particular election.

Interesting...... a couple of questions

What percent of the CA electorate is conservative?

What would happen to the other group of canidates that have now dropped out had Schwarzenegger not gotten in? Issa, Uberroth, Simon, etc. Would McClintock just wiped the floor with them and ran then out?

Geez, talk about delusional. And what do you base this number on? Certainly not his 2002 Controller's race against an unknown candadate. Tom is a great guy and good conservative but he isn't going to win this race - end of story, deal with it. Very disturbing how incredibly vicious the attacks on Arnold have been on this board. For a bunch of people who so praise Ronald Reagan (and rightfully so), you sure do him a disservice by forgetting his 11th Commandment.

McClintock at 57%? ....and if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon.

Schwarzenegger should drop out now so the real Republican can win.
