Write McClintock and ask him to drop out in order for the same reasons Simons dropped out. You can write him at:

However, that doesn't negate that we live in a liberal country (combine Gore votes and Nadar votes from last election, much more than 50%), not to mention an extremely liberal state. I don't think it'll be possible for Arnold to stem that tide, despite his celebrity status.
He also is also likely polarizing the female vote, as his "staff" is turning into a good ol' boys club. Not to mention stupidity such as Rob Lowe. (One actor who played a politician advising another actor trying to be a real politician. Comedy!) Then there's the Wiesenthal "investigation" into his father.
It appears to be turning into an uphill battle.

First, he's got to get his political credentials out there- especially his work on Proposition 49. Second, he has to push the other 2 GOP candidates out of the race. Then, he has a great shot at being the next California Governor.
