Guys, please, when you post something, you owe it to us to say what Sabertooth SAID!

[NittanyLion]

What did you say, Sabertooth?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

He said "I vehemently supported Tom until today."

[truthkeeper]

Report, please. What did he say?

[DiamondDon1]

Truthkeeper; All

Well, Sabertooth talked about the Recall in that he believed the beginning of the movement started when Davis tanked Prop 187. He noted that all the talk of McClintock derailing Arnold proved out not to be true. That he saw that McClintock supporters are needed if Republicans are going to get the State back (absolutely true...).

It was a five minute or so segment in which Hugh complained (lightheartedly) about Sabertooth dogging him on Free Republic...

Free Republic was mentioned several times, and when I was on (before Sabertooth), Hugh told me to take the rath of Sabertooth since I voted for Arnold...

What did you say, Sabertooth?

Well, I was on with Hugh and Daniel Weintraub. Hugh asked Weintraub to referee, but I said that I didn't call to flame him, it was too good a day, because Davis was getting the boot.

I made the point that a vote for McClintock wasn't a vote for Bustamante, it was a vote to remove Davis, and both Arnold and Tom supporters could enjoy the moment.

Hugh asked what I thought about the report that McClintock was exit polling at around 12%-- what did that mean for the California electorate?

I said that I thought several weeks ago that McClintock wasn't going to win, and that today's vote showed that the CA electorate wasn't ready for him, but also that future Republican candidates weren't going to get a majority without getting McClintock voters.

Hugh made a point about the Car Tax breaking the back of the Davis governorship. I agreed, but observed that the back started to break early in Davis' first term, when he spiked Prop #187.

Hugh brought up the Illegal Alien drivers' licenses, and asked what we thought about Davis moving so far to the Left in his campaign. I said that it was a strategic mistake, because he left the center wide open for Arnold. Both Hugh and Weintraub agreed that the strategy had backfired for Davis' recall chances.

I observed that it was worse than a mistake for this campaign, but also for the Democrats next year, because the anti-SB60 referendum will be on the ballot at the same time that eight of ten Democrat Presidential candidates who support Amnesty for Illegals will be for the March Primary.

Hugh asked what we thought about some exit numbers showing Arnold outpolling Bustamante with Latinos. I said that it meant that politicians weren't going to make inroads with the Latino electorate by pandering to them as Latinos. They need to be approaches like anyone else, as people who want to earn their way into the middle class and make a good life for their kids. Both Hugh and Weintraub agreed on that point.

I'm paraphrasing from memory, but that's the gist of it. I'm leaving out a lot of what they said, it's not like I dominated the conversation. Kinda nice, though, to get a whole segment and have a chance to develop a few points.

So Saber said he saw the way things were and voted Arnold?

[b4its2late]

Sounds (reads) like you did an outstanding job. Congrats.

[South40]

Did he whine?

[jwalsh07]

All of that animus for nothing. It seemed pretty clear watching from Ct that AS would win whether TM dropped out or stayed in.

Now assuming AS wins tonight, he should make TM his new best buddy.

Kewl beans, Fr produces such amazing people.
congrats to you SbT.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL!!!

[MHGinTN]

Way to shine, Toothy!

[steveegg]

Thanks, Saber. I pray that Arnold and the CRP realize that they still need conservatives, though I have my serious doubts about that.

[flutters]

Nice job. Congratulations!

[mhking]

Impressive, 'Tooth! Good job!
