If he'd kept his schnozz out back in 2003 (?), CA would have had Tom McClintock as Governor, and CA probably wouldn't be in the incredible mess it's in. But the mo-o-o-o-oderates couldn't stand the idea of a conservative R Governor (and some conservatives were so star-struck that they bought his fiscal conservatism wurst).
