"Woohoohoo-WOO!" said a jubilant McClintock as Arnold walked into the room.
During the conclave here in Los Angeles, California's GOP movers and shakers also are going to take neocon Sen. Tom McClintock into a private room and pistol-whip him into pulling out of the race, despite his gains on Schwarzerzerneggegger in a recent L.A. Times Poll (Arnold 25%, McClintock 18%). Democrat Cruz Bustamonte still leads at 30%.
That same poll, incidentally, puts the recall itself at 50% Yes, 47% No and 3% Undecided. With a margin of error of 3%+, that makes it a virtual dead heat.
Meanwhile, the guy who bankrolled the recall - only to find out that no one wanted him to be governor - Rep. Darrell Issa praised Bill Simon and Peter Uberroth for dropping out by stating this gem:
"They put the interests of our party and our state first."...in that order of course, which is the moral high road for the GOP in Cali.
