I was an officer-seeker, I wouldn’t get near a California statewide office right now...wait until after the collapse.

I share Senator McCain's passionate belief...

I know there was more after that statement but that was enough for me to seriously question Denham as a candidate.

..well, I thought Denham was an OK guy, but with McCain plugging him, I guess I should double check that assumption.

What the hell is going on with McCain the loser thinking he has any gravitas to be endorsing all these people? Personally I think the most interesting race is going to be Florida since McCain is backing Crist and Jeb Bush is backing Rubio... I really hope McCain loses THIS race.

I'm kind of on the fence on this endorsement. Is it the kiss of death or will it help?

Isn't Denham the guy the dems were trying to recall because he voted against the budget deal?

Is he a Republican or a Democrat?

With a McCain endorsement, this needs to be asked.

I was disappointed to discover that John McCain had not endorsed ventriloquist/comedian Jeff Dunham. His "dead terrorist" (pictured) is hilarious. "I kill you!"

Ping!

I have a sad feeling that we’re only going to see squishy-pubs in this race, too.

Are they sure it was McCain or was it the other Jeff Dunham and Walter? I'd rather have Walter, btw!

Isn’t he the guy with the puppets. He’s great! Peanut, Jose Jalapeno and especially Achmed the Dead Terrorist. I’d vote for him. What?! It’s not him? Nevermind.

Denham was among the “hall of shame” legislators in the last budget round.
His vote for Maldonado’s open-primary proposition was the deal-clincher for the big tax increases.
Had it not been for those votes, we wouldn’t have had the most massive tax increase in history.
And a LA style open primary will be the end of a two party system in California, IMO.

Which GOPers Supported The Largest Tax Increase In California’s History?

Denham helped clinch the budget deal this year, the one with massive tax increases and with an Open Primary attached.
See the link I just posted above.

But yes, Perata wanted him ousted for his budget votes the prior year. Perata had counted on him being a squish and he actually voted with the other Republicans.

I think McCain, with help from Cornyn, are going to impose themselves in a lot of elections in 2010.

I suspect that the Crist/Rubio scenario is about to play out in California, with the NRSC pushing Carly Fiorina onto the ballot for U.S. Senate instead of getting behind Chuck DeVore, a solid candidate(R). I expect to see Johnny Mac’s endorsement of both Crist and Fiorina.

Now do you see why out-of-staters are imposing themselves on AZ’s election? McCain is a disease that needs to be terminated.

Like I’ve said all along. I truly dislike McCain... and his current actions are really pissing me off. But Simcox is not the man to bring him down. Too bad someone like Shaddegg doesn’t have the nerve to go after him. Another very interesting race is going to be Shurtluf v Bennett in Utah.. I have friends in Utah who think very highly of Shurtluf... but they were dising him on Redstate over immigration. What everyone needs to understand is Utah will not go against illegal immigration because of “the” church.... anyhow I am going to send money to Rubio and Toomey and Shurtluf. I am hanging up on the RNC, RNSC and RNCC.

Would rather see Jeff Dunham in that role.
