Why is McClintock being urged to drop out? Last poll I saw he was only behind 25- 18%. Why not have Arnie drop out and let his supports vote for McClintok. The biggest problem is Arnie is liberal.

Many Republicans want to ignore the warning signs... even such conservatives as Sean Hannity seem to support Arnie and are willing to forgive his liberalistic tendancies. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Don't look or Arnie to cut any spending.

It's not like McClintok is polling 3%. Vote for the better guy, not the guy with the "R" that can win.

Barney, you posted just what the Democrat party would pray conservatives would do in this election so Cruz Bustamante is elected.

There are two issues.
#1 Is McClintock going to be a man and get out since he can't win or:
#2 Is he going to forever end his future in Republican politics here in CA.

Don't doubt this could be McClintocks last campaign as a representative as a Republican.

If Arnie is such a liberal, what makes you think his supporters would shift to McClintock? Wouldn't they be more likely to shift to Bustamante, the other liberal in the race?

If Arnie is not a liberal, and a supporter of Arnie is just as likely to support McClintock as well, quit yer bellyachin' and line up behind the guy in front!

If Arnold is such a liberal, then why has he signed up as a Republican spouting conservative fiscal concerns?

If Arnold just wanted the job, it would have been much easier to sign up as a Democrat with his name recognition.
He would be elected easily, would be a hero in Hollywood and the press.
Instead he is given grief as a Republican and has the press and Hollywood against him.
So I admire Arnold sticking by his principles and being a Republican which is much harder to be than a Democrat.

He is a fiscal conservative and winnable whereas McClintock's whole future is imploding.
