I just recieve my absentee ballot yesterday and for the second time I feel that my vote might actually make a different. Since Donald Duck and Micky Mouse decide not to run for governor I will have to pick someone else. Had anyone have any idea about Arnold ? I am more concern about his tied to Kenedy and gun hatting Hollywood all I know about this guy is that he probably doesn't know what the hell he is doing, his dad served in SS, His movies are pretty good, he can't pronounce California right, but he has ambition , he is hard working man , spend money wisely, a conservative, and has determination.But if Mc Clintock will have better change than Arnold I better off vote for him so he can win -anyone but Democrate candidate.

[Mark Tyson]

Vote for McClintlock. Arnold is a rabid anti-rights elitist(guns and everything else). I'm actually a democrat, but those CA democrats have totally sent your state under. Davis, Bustamante, Huffington . . . they're worthless. Just my 2 cents.

[sandy4570]

I just read the news that Republican still doesn't have thier act together because Arnold and Mc Clintock while Democrate already endorse Bushmante and they have 35-45% more vote than Republicgun so I guess unless Republican decide who is going to run they will loss this race again .

[hansolo]

McClintock is strongly Pro-2nd. Regarding Guns, Arnold doesn't have a clue and is "..for gun control...". Word is, McClintock is gaining on the Terminator and is our only good choice! By the way, I live in California.

[jimpeel]

Vote McClintock!

Arnold is a RINO and Bustamante will cede the state back to Mexico.

None of the rest have a chance in Hell of becoming anything other than spoilers for the election.

[Billll]

McClintock!
It's almost a no-lose situation. If he wins, you get someone with experience, who knows what he's doing, and is on our side. If you lose, the situation will only get worse, and a LOT of dems will lose their jobs next election.
Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild before running for governor, so he had at least _some_ experience as an administrator.

I swore I wouldn't say another word on this subject but, you being relatively new and all...

McClintock

[redhead]

Arnold is doing doing nothing that I can see to reach out to conservatives. He called those who support Proposition 54 (the racial privacy initiative) "right wing whackos). Nice. Thanks, Arnold. Not too mention his anti-gun statements. He said that he would "close the gun-show loophole" if elected. Newsflash, Arnold: California closed the "gun-show loophole" several years ago. I'm voting for McClintock, even though though the "convention wisdom" is that Arnold can win, and McClintock cannot. Well, maybe McClintock could win if those saying that he can't would actually vote for him.

[Danimal]

As an Oregonian, I know my opinion isn't worth much, but you get to have it anyway....


Vote for McClintock. He is a Republican's Republican. That said, it's California and he would never win. That takes nothing away from the fact he is a great candidate and a principled man. It's just the facts of the electorate. Arnold may have a shot at winning, but you need to ask yourself is it worth it to be captain of a sinking ship. Let's say Arnold wins. Even if he pulls it off, he will still be faced with a bankrupt state and will be fought by liberals in the legislature, unions, and local party machines every painful step of the way. They will go out of their way to make him (or any Republican) fail. Because he is a crappy Republican, he will fail to make any progress and thus all Republicans will be blamed for the mess that Davis created, but Arnold was in charge for. We all know how that game works.

For Republicans, there is no winner here. Look at what we would be winning. Let the D's hold California. Let them celebrate crushing the vast right-wing conspiracy, and then watch them auger in when they make no changes to the way the state is run and everything collapses. They will have absolutely no scapegoat but themselves.

Sometimes winning isn't really winning.

[Skunkabilly]

McClintock.

Arnold says 'children' enough to set off my statist detector.

[Danimal]

I'd also like to add that if Arnold wins, it will make things that much harder on true conservatives in other states. A Schwartzenegger victory will make him the flavor of the month and the media will rush to brand him as the "new breed of Republican". Arnold is painfully liberal on so many issues and as the annointed new face of the Republican Party, it will marginalize those Republicans who are truly moderate and force them to answer charges of extremism. Those of us who are actually conservative might as well start practicing our goose-step and growing funny mustaches.

There are two ways to guide your party. You can remain solid on your issues, but creatively appeal to those outside your party to convince them your stances are better. Or you can just forego any creative efforts and just heave the party towards the center, abandon any principles and try to become indistinguishable from the other party and just hope people get confused and make mistakes on their ballot. Arnold is definitely the latter strategy.

Election is off..at least for a few days... Nineth Circuit at it again...

[Russ]

McClintock. Arnold is a RINO and as bad for gun rights as a DemocRAT. Better for California to fail miserably under the Dems than to have a RINO like Arnold go in and actually make the State better financially.Let the Dems twist in the wind.

There is not one Dem in CA that will stand up for gun rights.

[RocketMan]

Looks like you don't have to worry about it anymore.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked the election. They are afraid the punch card ballot system to be used in six counties is somehow unfair to voters. Hanging chads again.
The Court didn't bother to set a new election date, leaving it in limbo.
It's unknown whether the U.S. Supreme Court will hear an appeal to the case.

Funny though, it was certainly good enough to put Grayout Doofus into office. Wasn't it unfair in 2002?

[Danimal]

Hmmmm....so the evil punchcard ballots that disenfranchise minority voters were somehow less evil during all the other elections California has held since the Florida problem? Only now does it become such a problem that the voters need the intervention of the 9th Circuit. Or should I infer that only when a Democrat is about to be tossed out on his ear, does the fickle punchcard thwart the will of the electorate....

[Skunkabilly]

The ACLU brought suit, saying the punch-card system could disenfranchise voters in six counties, including Los Angeles, the state's largest. Those six counties include 44 percent of state voters and have heavy concentrations of minority voters.

I'm not sure what that means. Either the ACLU really wants my vote to count or they're saying that colored people are too stupid to figure out how to punch holes in a card.

[Giant]

When the recall vote happens, and it will! Vote for McClintock!

If the children are so important to the far left socialist democrats, why is it they are building a living hell on earth for them? Oh, I see! It is other peoples children, not the children of elitist.

When Kali breaks off it will float away and attach itself to North Korea!

[TheeBadOne]

***NEWS FLASH*** Court action has blocked recall for now

[Jim March]

Recommendation:

Take that absentee ballot, and sit on it until the last possible moment.

It's possible that Arnold will make enough concessions to Tom that Tom will drop out. OR it's possible Arnold will utterly crash'n'burn. We basically don't know.

On top of that, the Fed courts apparantly are gonna hold off on the election until Spring of next year. God only knows what could happen between now and then!

Upshot: I too am a STRONG McClintock supporter. At a minimum, he's driving the debate in a low-gov't, low-taxes direction and God bless him for it. I hope he's elected.

But..."hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes", dudes.

Realistically, California is going to be the hereditary fiefdom of the hard-left lunatic finge until the entire state implodes. Replacing Davis in mid-term with a Republican, while a neo-Bolshevik legislature still holds the purse strings, will only serve to give the Democrats a dupe to blame for the ongoing effects of their own corruption and toxic ideology. The best bet for the Republicans is to let the Democrats win this round, watch the Sacramento Politburo turn the state into a howling waste, and then sweep into office across the board in the next general election. That way the Democrats get the full brunt of the public wrath, and the Republicans will actually be able to be something other than a lame duck on arrival.

[Bruce H]

Grey Davis will still be governor. He is just as slimey as Richard J Daley Jr. The Nineth circuit has stopped it for now. Look for king Grey to find some way to be anoited.

[Drjones]

I'm not sure what that means. Either the ACLU really wants my vote to count or they're saying that colored people are too stupid to figure out how to punch holes in a card.

Yeah, Skunk.

You didn't know that coloreds are too stupid to vote? I sure don't think so, but the ACLU does.

Does anyone else here remember Jim's huge thread about voting fraud? Said fraud was committed because of the electronic systems, which happen to be the EXACT same systems the racist liberals (sort of a redundancy, I know) want to implement.

[Skunkabilly]

You didn't know that coloreds are too stupid to vote? I sure don't think so, but the ACLU does.

Actually they may be right, because all my Democrat friends think I'm just crazy, but all my Republican friends tell me that I'm throwing my vote away :p

[jimpeel]

I was listening to Hugh Hewitt today and guess what type of ballot the absentee ballots are? All you really good guessers out there are now saying "punchcards!" and you are right!

Bad punchcards.

Bad punchcards!:neener:

[USAFA]

Yeah, got mine the other day. I'll be curious to see what they replace them with, assuming they bother. Can I sue the ACLU if their suit removes any way for me to vote?
