Phil is just a horrible candidate. I knew he was going to lose. I'll enver forigve the California Democratic establishment for derailing Westly and saying we HAD to vote for Angelides.
I voted for Westly. I agree, this is a self-inflicted wound.
I'm actually going to predict the McClintock pulls it off. He got third in the recall election, though a right winger is a very straight shooter (he calls it like he sees it, and is rather popular with moderates in his home county as well as mainstream conservatives.
Heck, my die-hard liberal father just endorsed him, (an act akin to Feingold endorsing Bush) much to my shock. (most likely because as a reporter he has met McClintock several times, and he says he's a honorable guy.)
