"....surely Tom is closer to your beliefs than Arnold who is Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homosexual could ever be."

You just made my point. Arnold is closer to my beliefs than Bustamonte. No one fits perfectly to what I want in a politician. And no one ever will. A perfect politician, for example, would post on the FR daily. A perfect politician would encourage input from the FR openly. A perfect politician would drop in on the BET forum daily as well, and perhaps the C-Span forum-- spending an hour at each place, six days a week. A perfect politician would have nothing in his/her past that is politically embarassing. I would vote for God in a heartbeat, but He's the only one not running for CA governor.

The good news is that the conservative base is defiant enough to let the RINOs realise that their support is not to be taken for granted. You need that once in a while, or you become a door mat for whichever party is in power. [I don't think this is the ideal time, however, to protest vote. California is in danger of becoming our Kosovo. The stakes are far too high.]

Part of Clinton's strategy here with the smut on Arnold is that every slime attack is a fake lifeline for McClintock. McClintock grabs the lifeline and 'snap', it breaks on him. Then there's another lifeline dangling out there.
