Yahoo! News - Schwarzenegger Far Ahead in New Poll saya Yahoo/AP:
As a potential replacement for Davis, Schwarzenegger was the choice of 40 percent, Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante 25 percent and Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock 18 percent — suggesting Schwarzenegger could become governor even if Republicans split their vote.
BUT... hold the phone. If Arnold dropped out, McClintock would wallop Buster Cruz 56% to 37%. AND, McClintock's negative rating is 20% while Arnold's is now 30% (Buster's is 54%). Who's the better Republican who is a shoo-in to whup the corrupt Democrat regime?

Well, I hate to ask the guy who is out front in the polls to drop out. Plus the Davis oppo research folks have not bothered to smear McClintock -- that could turn the polls.
