64% of all Californians voted for a Republican, which is quite amazing for a Democratic State! (Yes Arnold's numbers would have been better if McClintock had dropped out HOWEVER Arnold's team wanted McClintock to STAY in the race because they needed his voters to vote "Yes" on Part I of the ballot.)

You know, I've mostly stayed out of this McClintock/Arnold sniping because I'm not a Cali voter (although my mom-in-law is). As things have turned out, these two men ran spirited campaigns, and yet didn't tear each other apart, and I suspect they'll both turn out to be winners in the long term.

Arnold's team and all the Republican leadership wanted Tom to drop out from the very beginning, where are you getting this nonsense from?

If Tom had dropped out at the beginning, as Issa and Simon did, there wouldn't have been this fracture in the GOP, people would have supported Arnold and voted for the recall.

When you imply, that McC supporters wouldn't have voted, just out of spite, if McC weren't in the race, you are only pointing out that they didn't want what is best for CA or the R party, were only pushing a personality cult.

I don't want to continue the divisive arguments, but your statement was more than I could stand.

Next, the voters should turn their ire on the leftist extremists in the California legislature and judiciary who keep shoving their Marxism down the throats of the state's citizens.
