Nothing follows.

[RobFromGa]

They should have asked how they'd vote if Arnold drops out too...

[ambrose]

ping

[Spiff]

The Field poll then asked the ballot without McClintock
Bustamante 31% Schwarzenegger 33% Dammit! Can't we get them to ask the ballot without Schwarzenegger!? Argh!

[My2Cents]

Interesting follow-up question. So, looks like about half the McClintock supporters would pretty much sit on their hands if McC pulls out of the race.

[hole_n_one]

This oughta be fun to watch....

I'm gonna go make some popcorn.

The Field poll then asked the ballot without McClintock

We need to see the numbers in the head to heads between Bustamante and Arnold, Bustamante and McClintock, and Bustamante and Ueberroth.

[ambrose]

fascinating... very little movement on the yes/no front..

[Drango]

Time for McClintock to buy a vowel and get a clue...splitting the vote doesn't help California or Republicans.

[Consort]

It still looks like:

1. Bustamente
2. No Recall
3. The rest of the field

Numbers 1 and 2 could flip.

[EllaMinnow]

I beat Drudge!

[meg70]

Uberroth must go with absentee ballots being sent.now!

[eddie willers]

Bustamante 31% Schwarzenegger 33%

Jeeze...Bustamante picks up 1% of McClintock supporters?

Some of them must really hate Arnie.

[B Knotts]

The Field Poll leans liberal.

How that affects these results is difficult to predict.

[The Old Hoosier]

Taken before or after Arnie skipped the debate?

[Rabid Dog]

Biggest gains (statistically)

If you look at where they were to where they are now - % gain.

UB first
Tom
Bustamante
Arnold

Any statisticians out there?

Quite a few undecided must have decided because the top four candidates all gained a few points.

[A CA Guy]

Uberman and McNader both need to go bye bye.

The absentee ballots are out and they start doing damage as of this moment in this race.

A three was split verses a united Democrat candidate is a real problem.

Both Uberman and McNader will find themselves out of political capital if Arnold loses this race. They are digging themselves a hole that Republicans won't ever forget.
They are not building supporters, but are at this point building future adversaries to any candidacy they are going to go for.

If they don't leave this race pronto, I know I won't forget and will always work against those two in any future campaign.

Conservatives don't need spoilers in their camp screwing the election toward Democrat hacks...whether due to unreasonable principles or because they are glaze eyed followers.

Time to grow up Tom and Peter, get out of this race and stop handing this to the Democrats. You are about to be hated for good by a majority of voters who don't want Democrats to win this seat.

[The KG9 Kid]

I'll vote for whomever can defeat Bustamante, be it Schwarzenegger or McClintock. Either of the two would be a welcome shake-up in California. I'd prefer McClintock, but am prepared to vote for Arnold.

However, if McClintock can't get on top of Schwarzenegger in the last weeks and refuses to drop out based upon principle, he might find himself the *only* 'Conservative' left in California.

The borders will be flooded with departing Californian conservatives. McClintock's name will be in the same league as Benedict Arnold, and I don't mean Schwarzenegger.

[Walkingfeather]

relax guys mcclintock will hang until the last second and then drop he knows it would fall on him if the gov is bustamonte
You have to make sure that Arnold doesnt suffer a fatal wound and there is no Republican there to cast a vote for.

[Tamzee]

We still have a very good shot at taking the state back!

[KQQL]

Ueberoth 7% .............

HE's cluesless ........he thinks this is 1984...........
