This is not responsive to my post. I might say that Nixon won California, and Reagan, and Knowland, and Dukmejian and Wilson. Less than a decade ago the GOP won both houses of the state legislature, and there has not been a major shift in demographics in that time.
To remind you, I asked, if we are to take your opinion on California politics seriously, please point to an accurate prediction by you of the results of the primary election.
Would you agree there has been a shift in demographics ? Also , would it be fair to say that the leftist media has had more than a modicum of success in brainwashing the public at large ? What % of under 30 Californians would you say vote Republican ? I haven't the figures but I daresay the % is miniscule . The Cal of Nixon , Reagan , etc ...is long gone I am afraid .
Historically, Republicans have consistently voted at a higher percentage than Democrats, which equalizes the Democrat registration advantage. However, during the last two election cycles Democrats and Republicans have been voting at the same percentage, which means that Republican turnout is down and Democrat turnout is up at the same time.
We need to reverse this trend. While demographics have changed, they haven't changed so dramatically that Republicans can never win. We must increase our turnout to 1994 percentages. We can do that with a real conservative like Bill Simon who appeals to a cross-section of voters because of his friendly, outgoing, bright personality.
We have the best candidate for Republicans; Davis has many failures he needs to address. If Davis attempts to avoid atoning for his sins, he will lose. If Simon can make this election about Davis and his failures, he will win.
This will be a major battle. We have seven and a half months. We can't let up now, we can't let up in October. The Democrats -- and especially Davis -- will do or say anything to keep power.
