Hmmm....
I've been talking smack about Arnold and the fact that he's no Republican and how I would definitely vote for McClintock if I lived in CA. This letter makes me think a little differently. From The Corner:
Dear Jonah,
With all due respect, It's pretty easy for you to call Arnold voters hypocrites when there is absolutely no chance you'll be helping us out with our tax bills under Bustamante.
I think the hypocrisy charge is particularly off base since there is no primary in this race. Would I vote Arnold over McClintock in a Republican primary? No way, but that isn't the choice I've been given. You're "sticking with McClintock?" Good for you and your principles, would that be in the D.C. or Maryland primary?
As someone who is going to have to pay for the decisions of California voters out of my own pocket, I reserve the right to decide that Arnold's piggish behavior is in the past. The man apologized to his accusers, he didn't lie under oath and then send his political attack machine out after them.
I wish Bill Simon and Tom McClintock, both good men, were better politicians but they aren't. Your accusation of hypocrisy costs you, umm, hmm...nothing, unless you decide to rebate some of my NRODT subscription as a result.
A Gov Bustamante and a dem legislature would cost me and my family a lot.
Best Regards, but a little ticked off,

Thank you for pointing this out. It's basically how I have felt about McClintock fans outside of California. I sympathize with them - I want to vote for him, too - but this is not the election to throw away a vote on principle.
To those who would object to the idea of calling voting on principle "throwing away a vote," I say, see if you can bring yourself to vote Liberarian in the next election (or Reform or whatever principled fringe party you want).
