You are right, California will self-destruct. My husband retired this year, and in the spring we are leaving. We are tired of the politics, the illegal immigration and the legal immigration (they all want to live here), and the high taxation.

I am going to take the money that I pay in taxes here and go else where. The state can make it up from the illegals that work here. I wonder how many illegals it will take to make up what I pay in taxes?????

I am not the only one that is leaving this state. The hispanics can have it and turn it into another Mexico. And if anyone has been to Mexico lately that is not a good prospect.

That is where the CA electorate is at... the middle.

Yes, but whose middle?

[marajade]

A moderate of either party... Simon was just the wrong candidate for California...

I know what you mean. My wife gets the Sunday edition for the coupons. Otherwise, it wouldn't be seen in my house.

Goldsborough is an moron. He has nothing to say that anyone with any sense would want to listen too. He is one of the resident clymers on the San Diego Union Buffoons editorial staff.

We can adapt and offer our RINO candidates in the LA/ San Mateo County strongholds. Let the conservatives do well in the conservative areas let the moderates and liberals in the Republican Party choose their candidates in their areas.
A RINO is way better than a leftist pinko.

I agree with you ... it is so easy to let a rookie campaigner crash and burn and then say "i told you so" when in fact Simon needed and deserved help from state GOP to run a winning campaign. The fact remains he got damned close. which blow hue chunks through the theory that conservatives are unelectable... quite frankly if Chris Cox ran, he would have won by 10 points against Davis. And Simon would have won if he hadnt blundered on the photo of the Gov *and* if he had $10 million more....

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
