McClintock is the right guy at the right time, if they'll give him the microphone.

I remember how Arnold's 'moderate' disciples around here trashed him.

You’re lucky to have this guy ..... too bad he is outnumbered. Many of us will live to regret this but many, like ACORN, rat politicians and their beneficiaries, will be snickering for quite a while over this scam.

I remember how Arnold's 'moderate' disciples around here trashed him.

At the end of the Davis Recall campaign, I trashed McClintock, with good reason: He refused to recognize that, in the face of an arrangement of Arnold being in first, Busty being in second, and he being a distant third, that McClintock could split the GOP vote and hand the race to the racist dolt Bustamonte.

There was no primary. We had two dogs in the final run to the Dem's one. That was a time to put ideology aside and recognize the reality of basic election mechanisms.

McClintock would have made a better governor than Arnold, that's for sure - but the tricky thing is that you actually have to get elected first.

All that's in the past. I fully support Tom McClintock in what he is doing here, and in his future endeavors.

Given Arnold’s performance of late there are lessons here for everyone.

Yes, the spineless moderates who capitulated to (R)nold from the get-go. It was conservative holdouts, however, that, over time, pulled (R)nold more and more to the right as he tried to appease them. Of course, if moderates had any principles, they would be conservatives.

Yet, in the next election, Bustamonte got about 7% less in his race than McClintock got in his, IIRC. Methinks Arnold was the spoiler in the recall; joined late and stole the effort.
