OK. let me try to respond directly to your post.

I think it's an excellent summary and you are completely correct, that it is indeed the Dem strategy to "divide and conquer" and you laid out very well the particulars.
We have less than 3 weeks until the election.

So now we have the choice of allowing the Dems to manipulate us, or NOT. Being aware of it, and still allowing oneselves to be used as a puppet by the Dems is not exactly a brilliant strategy for Republican victory.

We have less than 3 weeks until the election, and we have to deal with bottom line FACTS.

1. Due to California demographics, Tom has ZERO chance at beating Bustamante, even if he ran alone against Bustamante, hence this scenario would certainly give us Bustamante or Davis (people voting against the recall, because they are afraid of Cruz).

2. With 2 R candidate, Arnold may have a problem with beating Bustamante, again we'll end up with Davis or Bustamante.

3. Arnold CAN beat Bustamante, if Tom drops out and his supporters don't stay home, but vote for Arnold, the Republican, against Bustamante and Davis, who are the "real terminators of California" as Arnold said. THIS IS THE ONLY SCENARIO WITH THE MAXIMUM CHANCE OF UNSEATING DAVIS AND DEFEATING BUSTAMANTE.

Hi Fair!

This is good, we are getting close to where we agree to disagree...

1. Due to California demographics, Tom has ZERO chance at beating Bustamante, even if he ran alone against Bustamante, hence this scenario would certainly give us Bustamante or Davis (people voting against the recall, because they are afraid of Cruz).

Since we have argued this before...several times...alot even...I understand how you feel about Tom's chances...and I know you understand where I am...

BTW: You're not a Brown's fan are you???

2. With 2 R candidate, Arnold may have a problem with beating Bustamante, again we'll end up with Davis or Bustamante.

Agreed, we will pick only one on Election Day...
