Two words Barbara Boxer, the mental midget for whom no US surrender is too quick, no tax too high and no government program too big.
Sometimes the smart fight is the good fight and a partial victory better than a moral victory. California is not a red state or a purple state where a RHINO is a defeat. It is one of the bluest of the blue. BHO won California by 24% and 3,000,000 votes. BHO won here by more votes than the total votes cast in New Jersey last night! Boxer won her last race by 20%.
You may say what about the recall of Gray Davis for the then conservative Arnold or Christies win in New Jersey last night doesnt that show a conservative can win in a liberal state? Sadly voters are much more likely to blame a politician at the executive level such as governor than at the congressional level. Many who voted for Arnold later voted for their liberal representatives in Washington and Sacramento.
More importantly, Boxer has a huge war chest already and is personally one of the wealthiest Senators in Washington. Besides loads of money, shell have the teachers and other powerful unions behind her. It will take a billionaire to beat her, even if that billionaire is a RINO.
Ill do this even though I like everything I heard and read about Chuck DeVore. Thats because I live in a state that may make Jerry moonbeam Brown both the youngest and oldest governor to serve here.
I know I know. What can I say? I went to CA public schools.
Is she the Van Jones pal?
LOL!
Me too!
Governor in title should have been Senate but if there’s an way to edit, I don’t know it.
I haven’t seen any evidence that a real true conservative can win statewide in CA. DeVore has no chance. If I lived in CA, I would hold my nose and vote for Fiorina. I refuse to believe that she’d be worse than Boxer.
BTW, here's my next Senator, Texas' beloved Railroad (actually oil and gas) Commissioner:
