Politics has a well-known revolving door, with candidates often rehiring consultants, strategists and vendors as they move from one campaign to the next. But for Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina, that might not be so easy.
Twelve of about 30 people who worked on Fiorina's failed 2010 California Senate campaign, most speaking out for the first time, told Reuters they would not work for her again.

Like who? Has a Republican won any statewide office in the last decade?
As for Arnold and McClintock that special election wasn't Arnold vs. McClintock. It was:
If everyone who had voted for a fringe candidate had voted for McClintock, he still would have had less than half the votes Schwarzenegger won. Hell, if 90% of the people who voted for Bustamente had voted for McClintock, Schwarzenegger would still have won.
