I would rather see him wait and then run for the Senate in 2008. A loss in '06 would be difficult to overcome.
I would love for Tom to run for the US Senate race in either 2006 or 2010 but his intention is not to be in Washington DC but to be in California and focus on Calfornia's issues.
As conservative Republicans, we should do whatever we can to help support and get Tom elected in California. Because I am planning on voting for him next year in both the primary as well as the general election.
Tom McClintock is the only pro-life, pro-second amendment, pro-business, anti-gay marriage, anti-illegal alien, as well the only conservative Republican candidate in California that will make a huge difference once he gets elected to replace outgoing liberal Dem Cruz Bustamante. And I know that Tom will beat liberal flower-child John Garamendi next year for the Lt. Governor's race.
