Speaking of primaries - Schwarznkennedy has never won one. McClintock, on the other hand, has twenty years of running, winning, sacrificing and serving. Schwarznkennedy does not deserve our support. Go, McClintock!

Schwarznkennedy has never won one.

Never lost one either......

Why does McClintock think he's entitled to the CA Governorship?

For me, the prize is not the governorship per se but the solution to this state's fiscal crisis. The question is not who can win. In my mind both can win if one drops out. But what happens then? If McClintock (who mirrors my own philosophy) wins and tries to implement changes (cuts) to solve the crisis the Democraps in the legislature (Burton, et al) will play politics as usual and stonewall all of McClintocks reforms until his term is finished and then proclaim McClintock a failure since we haven't solved our problems. Another Democrap runs and wins....business as usual to the average voter. But if Arnold wins he comes to Sacramento as an outsider with the only creditials that matter...the support of a plurality of the people. And because of his celebrity status he can call a news conference anytime he feels like it and hold the 'craps heels to the public fire and implement the changes necessary to end this fiscal nightmare. He is enough of a fiscal conservative to accomplish this. Who cares what his social views are at this time? He certainly cannot singlehandedly stop abortion, command Federal dollars to pay for illegal services, etc. Plus he can use the 'craps opposition as an excuse for another term or two. And we conservatives must understand that in the absense of a dynamic leader such as Ronald Reagan we will more often than not have to be satisfied with having influence in the party as it's most dependable base and demand our fair share of issue support from the more moderate, and more electable, elements of our party. We were doomed to this role by the Senate Republicans who succomed to liberal chants of "extremist" and caved on impeaching Clinton. Now all they have to do is mention the word "extremist" and they all turn to jelly. Sad but true.
