Please explain to me how it helps the conservative cause to elect a leftist Dem as Governor of CA -- almost every other statewide office is already in Dem hands, including having an overwhelmingly Dem Legislature.

How does that help conservatives? I can hardly wait for your erudite response.

Had you guys not went ahead with that stupid recall campaign, Davis would have crashed and burned and a genuine conservative would have risen from the ashes and implemented real reforms.

The state needs long-term, fiscally and socially conservative solutions instead of the band-aids the Governator has frequently used.

I'll bite.

The fact is our choice is from THREE leftist Dems as Governor. Westley, Angelides, and Schwarzenegger. The main difference is that Angelides or Westley won't be able to control the Republican Party.

So which would you prefer,

A) a liberal Democrat in the Governor's office, with Republican legislators emboldened to fight every time he tries to raise the minimum wage? or

B) a liberal Democrat in the Governor's office AND as the titular head of the Republican Party in California, who Republican legislators can't or won't fight when he tries to raise the minimum wage.

Those are your only two choices. You pick.
