Schwarznkennedy is more qualified than Tom McClintock? You are the first person in California to say that - and probably the last.

Did you take a look at his sign-up date?

Arnold is definately more qualified than McClintock, because he will be able to work with the groups to get things approved. Everyone in the capital hates McClintock.. and he has the reputation that he doens't care what others think.

You wrote: If every Republican voter in California who believes that Tom McClintock would be the best choice for governor -- if only he could win -- would vote for Tom McClintock, he would win by a landslide.

This is so patently untrue. If every Republican in CA voted for McClintock, he wouldn't win. There are more dems than pubbies in CA, so thats a wash. Arnold is getting a lot of dem and indie votes that would just stay home if he wasn't running.

And your math is old.. I think Arnold is up to 52% and McClintock is down to 15%, so Arnold has THREE TIMES THE SUPPORT.

You KNOW if it were turned around and McClintock had three times the poll numbers that you would be all over Arnold to step aside.
