Listening to McClintock this evening, I am beginning to believe he stayed in simply to help the recall pass. He knows some of his supporters could not vote for Arnold, so he gave them another option. I just wish he had kept the negative critique of Arnold a little more toned down but some habits are hard to overcome...the competitive nature of politics, for one! He probably will be OK in his career and he certainly has had an abundance of national exposure these past 2 months! He has become somewhat of a symbol and hero it seems for conservatives, like the Judge Roy Moore & the 10 Commandments.

the competitive nature of politics ... yup!
It makes folks say strange things sometimes. Tom was a gentleman to the end, and any pointed remark or criticism of arnie was a calculated one, not intended as a personal atack, but a political one, imo. I'll leave it at that and I hope everyone else does too.
That arnie avoided any direct debate with tom was a smart move on arnie's part, he knew who was master of the facts in the pond we call the california budget and programs area.
Arnie is lucky celebrty bought him so much goodwill at the front end of his campaign and that he wasn;t hit harder earlier on in his campaign with all the vicious attacks.
