A Vote for McClintock Bump!

[Moby Grape]

You guys a like a cult (and so long winded). McClintock is NOT going to win. Sober up. Is he the best man, YES. Is he a conservative, YES. Is he going to win, NO.

[daviddennis]

McClintock might have had a good shot at the Governorship if people didn't really love Arnold. He connects with the voters on an emotional level, and that beats intellectuals every time.

Tom's run an outstanding campaign for someone not well known who has no money. If he doesn't wind up threatening Arnold - and I don't think he will - he's in a pretty strong position for the next incumbent-free election. (I would not advise him to go against Arnold if and when he runs for a second term).

10,000 yesterday at a rally for Arnold. 30 at one for McClintock.

Is that Kool-Aid Cherry or Grape?

[G.Mason]

"Finally there are the not too veiled threats to McClintock and his supporters of political irrelevance if he were to remain the race and cost the actor a win. There's also talk of recruiting a liberal Republican to run against and defeat Sen. McClintock in the primary next year for his re-election to the 19th Senate district seat if, as they expect, he loses the race for governor."

Now who would have thought?

I'm shocked ....... shocked I tell you.

McClintock Calls on Schwarzenegger to Resign If Charges Prove True

State Senator Tom McClintock called on Arnold Schwarzenegger to withdraw from the race for governor if allegations of improper sexual advances prove to be true.

Asked by reporters what he would tell Schwarzenegger, McClintock said, "If those allegations are true, you should drop out of the race."

McClintock was careful not to condemn Schwarzenegger out of hand, but made his feelings on the issue clear. "If the allegations are true, and again coming as late as they are, I believe they need to be treated with great skepticism, that conduct is reprehensible," he said.

He went on to tell reporters that if the charges are proven, Schwarzenegger does not deserve to occupy the governor's office. "As the father of a 13-year-old daughter, I would have a great deal of trouble accepting that that kind of conduct has been elevated to the highest office in the state," he said.

The potential scandal hovering over Schwarzenegger could provide an unexpected boost for McClintock's campaign. The conservative state senator is current lagging well behind both Schwarzenegger and Democrat Cruz Bustamante in the polls.

Well said. But I fear its too late for those conservative and moderate Republicans you talk about, to see the error of their ways and do what's right for California. Vote for Tom McClintock. By joining forces with the wishy washy centrists, aka. RINO's, they've clearly sold out their principles and convictions in the name of defeating Davis/Bustamonte, at all costs. Schwarzenegger is another political liberal and won't make the serious changes that Tom McClintock has spoken about making. Arnie won't even take a no tax pledge, or release specifics of his economic recovery plan for California. Arnie's campaign has done a good job of controlling the media and getting out their message to the people. But its been a message short on details and long on platitudes, soundbites and slogans.

It would appear that's what Californian's want right now. The future may hold something different.

[wimpycat]

Consider McClintock's campaign a success if he gets a greater percentage of actual votes than he's been getting consistently in the opinion polls and be satisfied with that.

I can understand why you'd post a last-minute appeal like this, but it's too late in the game for this to do any good. If Arnold and McClintock were within a few points of each other, it might be different. But it's not.

[skeeter]

Nice article.

The reference to "The Speech" in your title is particularly compelling - "They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right."

[tophat9000]

Go Bustamante, Go!

[NittanyLion]

I like the title. The CA GOP could sure use a man like Reagan right about now...

[calcowgirl]

Tom McClintock. Proposition 54.

YES!!! YES!!!

[massadvj]

Very well put, and thanks for taking the time to articulate the truth.

Obviously, the polls now show that Boostyourtaxes is a nonstarter. That being the case, the real question is question one. So all Republicans of conscience, whether Arnold supporters or Mac the Knife (the tax cutter and spending cutter) supporters need to get out and vote tomorrow, and vote yes on the recall.

As far as Arnold or Mac, it's now a free and open question. There is no need to vote for the lesser of two evils. Just vote for whomever you think is the best man for the job and let the chips fall where they may.

I know I will not be disappointed if Mac the Knife does not win. Believing in the politics of personal responsibility means that I realize that happiness comes from within. It is not conferred upon me by a governor or a president or whatever.

So, whoever you are and whatever you believe, just do what you think is right. Vote for who you think is best for the job. The polls (a reflection of and Boostyourtaxes stupidity) have freed you from worrying about voting to keep someone else out.

While so many are busy standing on principle, demanding full conservative alleginace (which is what the demorats demand) the other side is setting there very happly eating our lunch. If you want purity go to a convent if you want to win elections and have a say in the country go with the winner. 75% is better than 0%. Take your wins when and how you can. Don't get wrapped around the axle of "conservative correctness."

[miloklancy]

I don't think Tom McClintock's lack of support is due to the California Republican establishment not being behind him. Because the GOP is split, I question whether there is a coherent Republican establishment in California. Some credibility problems have arose with McClintock, that his supposedly principled conservative supporters have disturbingly ignored. McClintock told Darell Issa that he would not be a spoiler, but he has also promised his supporters he is in this race to the finish. He can't have it both ways. And considering the fact his support has stalled out at no more than 15%, Tom McClintock definitely will not win the Recall. However with all the garbage Davis is slinging on Schwarzenegger and the electorate's general gullability to not put two and one together in terms of the timing of this smear, McClintock's spliting the vote could hand the Governorship to Bustamante. This is where we are today. Californian Republicans cannot make a quick switch to a conservative like McClintock. The mainstream political landscape there, simply won't accept him and that is largely why he won't win. Schwarzenegger, albeit not a social conservative, is clearly committed to fiscal conservative and seeing as how the problems of California are fiscal in nature, he is probably the states best bet. I just ask Californians to please not screw this one up, like what happened with Riordan and Simon last year.

[pollywog]

Now is the time for conservatives to come home and vote for Tom.

Rush just announced that together the Republicans hold 60% of the vote. NOW pray tell me.....if 75% of the GOP voters say Tom McClintock is their choice but CAN'T WIN, together it would be a LANDSLIDE if the Arnold voters would join us.....and don't ask us to TURN IT AROUND THE OTHER WAY.......some of us have principles that are more important than compromise.Tom could be a WIN WIN situation. DON'T look down at the water....walk on it!!! GO TOM GO!!!!
