Ads cost money. McClintock doesn't have any. He doesn't have much time to raise it. And he doesn't have a lot of time left for those ads to be effective. The window is slamming shut on his campaign.
Given this reality, McClintock's run reminds me of the great pastime that has done more to get Democrats elected and conservatives shut out in this state than anything else: the vanity candidacy.
Conservative candidates in California have a penchant for beating each other to pieces in the primary phase, because they're all in love with themselves and refuse to say, "Ah, shucks. I have about as much chance of getting the primary win as I do of getting a date with that babe-a-licious sweet young thang over at the condo swimming pool, I'll bow out and back ol' Joe for the slot, he'll do an OK job until he's termed out."
Right. The TV stations are going to let him run them for free. He may not have as much as other candidates, but just pouring money into ads means nothing if you don't put the content into them. Simon learned that the hard way.

Funny, Arnold doesn't seem bothered by the short amount of time.

And you're happy to help with the slamming, from the sounds of it.

This is the argument that, above all others, makes you anti-McClintock types look completely stupid. You're carrying water for an actor with, at best, some history of involvement in the political process and you have the gall to describe a man who's actually working to stop the Democrat fascism from spreading in California a vanity candidate? Just how much are dues in the Flat Earth Society, anyway?
