Bustamonte could not have won not matter how much they split the vote. The combined Republicans got 63%, Bustamonte only got 31%.

I find the animus genuinely puzzling, and I am the first to dump on read meat GOP nutters. McClintock is NOT one of those.

Bustamonte only got 31% because of the popular candidate that Arnold is.

No one knows the results of an election until the vote is counted.
At a time when no vote had taken place and McClintock knew he was both a loser and splitting the vote, that was IMO spoiling the election to the benefit of the Democrats.
We were darn lucky in California that Arnold was so powerful a candidate that he could survive a Democrat and a backstabbing wanna-be McC.

McC has lost my trust due to his actions, before that I liked him but just thought he needed to market himself better.
Now, I believe he is bad for the party, bad for the people and too in love with potential power to ever be trusted again.

Up against McClinkook, Bustamove would have (IMO) gotten a LOT more of the "Moderate" vote and probably would have won.

I'm certain McClincockeyed wouldn't have gotten the moderate vote Arnold got anyway.
