ReCAL Update

McClintock is already making noises that indicate a softer stance on his candidacy than seemed to be the case as recently as a day or so ago. The SacBee reports:

"There'd be no need to pull out in that case," McClintock said on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" show. "My support would go to Arnold if it looks like Arnold's the only hope of stopping Cruz Bustamante, and I think Arnold's support would come to me if our momentum continues and they realize they can actually have their first choice and he can win."

Still, he said he will not follow the lead of former Republican candidate Peter Ueberroth, who left the race Tuesday.

Further, SacBee reporter Daniel Weintraub offers some interesting possible "peace plans" that might emerge between Schwarzenegger and McClintok on his blog.
