Tom McClintock was (along with Peter Camejo) the best candidate for California Governor in 2003. An intelligent man with political courage, he stood up to other Republicans who urged him repeatedly to step down in favor of Arnold Schwarzenegger. During the debates, only he and Camejo seemed to be on task with their message on how to improve California, though differing in approach. McClintock, suffice to say, has a bright future ahead should he pursue higher office someday.
