Regardless, someone has to run against her and at least make her work to get re-elected. She cannot be allowed to run unopposed.
Forget about Cox.
If any Nixon were to run, it should be Julie. She is brainy, beautiful, and conservative.

Remember when The Turtles (an LA band for you) played at the White House during Nixon's Presidency? It was for the birthday of one of the daughters, can't remember which one. When I lived in LA I used to go down to San Clemente now and then -- you could see Nixon's Casa Pacifica sitting way up on the cliff overlooking the ocean.
Oh, I agree somebody has to run against her, and there is always some outside chance something bad will crop up and bite her. But it will have to be a much better candidate than Lazio (not sure who that would be -- NY GOP pickings are pretty slim.) Her negative ratings in a poll taken a few days ago were only 28 percent; that's going to have to go up quite a bit in the next year and a half. A conviction of her chief fund raiser might help, but her followers are so ga-ga that I doubt anything short of murdering Slick Willie would hurt her much.
It's like Von Helsing Cox going after the beast Hiliary. It may seem hopeles at first, but something good may come of this.
His victory would be absolute poetry.

Nah, I grew up on the East Coast, worshipping the image of SoCal as seen in "The Endless Summer" and Beach Boys albums. It seemed like it would have been Paradise in those days. I visited a lot, but did not move out there until well into adulthood, in the mid-90s. I actually still liked it, and I still miss In-N-Out Burgers, and going to Huntington Beach in January when you can have it to yourself, and hiking in the Malibu Canyons. Still plenty of good stuff, which is why I think it's worth fighting for. But when you grew up there, man -- how I would have loved to have seen the orange groves and car culture at its zenith, and been around to watch all those great bands in person.
