That becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. If everyone who said that they supported McClintock but will vote for Arnold because McClintock "can't win" voted for McClintock, whom they would rather have, he would be right in the race and would stand a decent chance of winning. Don't let the RINO machine scare you away from your first choice. You only waste your vote when you vote for what you don't believe. Arnold is a lot of what we as conservatives don't believe and don't want.
I had the exact same position as you did up until yesterday.
Now, I am all but convinced it's Bustamante's Aztlan Raiders or Arnold's Power Team.
I'll have to go with the latter.
The media blitz has already decided who will be in the race.
You know as well as I do sheeples don't go with the issues, they go with the hype and who CNN and Fox gives more aire time to.
50% of California voters are Democrats. Republicans win only by mistake (not theirs, when the Dems don't show up at the voting booths).
However, 68% say Gray needs to go, and well over 50% say they want Arnold to take his place.
The Rinos have spoken.
