The gangrene has taken the extremities already: California, Oregon, Washington State, Maine . . .
No way Brown should have won in CA, but considering the alternatives voters have, why have a fake liberal when you can have a real liberal? Schwartzenegger is what would have happened to the GOP had McCain won.
And the RNC and state GOPs seems to play no small part in snuffing out the last remnants of conservatism in those states.
They haven't pushed conservative pubbies in those states for years, but instead have rewarded the RINO-virus, and endorsed liberal immigration and open border policies leading to an uber-liberal demographic.
