First of all, Schwarzenegger has always been a Republican and there is no chance he will abandon the party. Next, this situation will automatically result in a Democratic victory. With McClinotck and Arnold fighting over the independents and Republicans, all the Democrat has to do is sit there with at least 40% of the vote and watch. To be honest, this sounds alot like the 1912 presidential election. If you really want McClintock to be governor, then he should run in the primary and try to defeat Arnold there. The Democratic party would love to be handed the governorship, but the GOP leadership would not allow this situation to occur. This sounds alot more like wishful thinking from the Democrats.
