They endorse "the" Republican candidate in an election, but when there are multiple R candidates running, as in the primaries, they don't endorse one over another.
It is unprecedented that in a race where there are more than one R candidate, they endorse one. This is a huge blow to McClintock.
The unanimous endorsement was very good too.
Note the strong wording. They are telling everyone that Schwarzenegger is the REAL Republican Candidate and Republicans should vote for him.

I bet all the Rnulled supporters are so happy.
If at first 1 RINO doesn't succeed , try try again.
The Death Knell of the conservative movement under the CAGOP "auspices" and the beginning of a new one is at hand.
Your tax bills will reflect the "change" in governance,, and sadly, I predict there will be little change left in your pockets , but Hey you voted for a Republican after all, Right? so It's Ok.

LOL, the California Republican Party hacks are so scared that Arnold might blow it that they took the "unprecedented" action of endorsing one Republican over another. In this case, they endorsed the Democrat-lite over the conservative (surprise, surprise).
It's one thing to be a rank-and-file surrender monkey, but when the Party leaders reveal themselves to be surrender monkeys, that's pathetic. They should have stuck with precedent.
I do wonder, though, if this action might not actually do more harm than good (for Schwarzenegger). First, it may cause a backlash among McClintock supporters. They may feel like they've been stabbed in the back and many may decide to sit out the election. Second, an official endorsement by the GOP tarnishes Schwarzenegger's "independent moderate" image by placing him squarely in the Republican camp. This may hurt his ability to "reach out" to Democrats and independents, some of whom may get scared off by this "official" GOP endorsement.

This is a huge blow to McClintock. How? Do you think normal Republicans are mindless enough to let the party decide their candidate for them? I guarantee you McClintock stays where he is now in the polls or rises.

What a bunch of RINO's </sarcasm
I'm sorry, but I've been called a RINO for so many weeks I just had to do that. Call it comic relief. (No offense meant to anyone).
Just a HUMOR break!!
Wishing us ALL "good luck" in this election..in that we REALLY need California to HAVE some!! We NEED CHANGE and to get rid of all this madness.
We just got our license renewal for a DIESEL VW Beetle that gets 45 miles to a gallon (hwy) and it was like 450 dollars!!! It is due in November. Maybe it won't be necessary. Lets hope!
