"There was a very large group of vocal Martinez supporters here on FR."

Yup, and I was one of them. You see, Billy, we took the man at his word. He DID vote quite Conservatively -- until he jumped the shark on shamnesty, and destroyed his reputation entirely. But I'm not sure what the point of your post is other than to fire some gratuitous after-the-fact shots.

"Like the legions of freepers who hailed Condi Rice for President and Arnold for Governor here, the pro-Martinez crowd has suddenly disappeared."

I supported Condi until a lackluster handling of the job in the Middle East, I NEVER back Ah-nold and got suspended from FR for exposing his record (of which I was proven 100% right) and unapologetically supporting McClintock, and I no longer support Martinez. So there you go.

***I didn’t know you got suspended. Glad you came back. The situation today is very similar to the free-for-all that we had in the Cahleefornya recall election.

I think his point is that people are revising history now about Mel. We can make mistakes but we need to learn from them.

I fell for the bull from Bush & Arnold. I’m not from CA so I didn't vote for Arnold and like you, I feel Condi has been a disaster on the Middle East.

We all should remember these lessons when we vote in the next primaries. I keep hearing people tell me that Rudy is the only one who can beat Hillary. I think they're just trying to scare us to support a liberal. If it comes down to Rudy or Hillary, we are doomed!

Rudy will destroy the Republicans and Hillary will destroy the country.
