Marin, as a Latina, would immediately attract positive attention (and especially would help in repairing the damage Pete Wilson did between the state GOP and the Hispanic community),

Never mind the fact that the people of the great state of California voted 3 to 1 in favor of Proposition 187 only to have the government step in and burn our ballots and declare our election illegal...After we won big!

Jezzzz I tire of this politically correct, anti-American nonsense and BS......

It was how Wilson conducted his campaigns on the matter that created the problem. The "they keep coming..." ads were perceived as not very thinly-veiled racism. The backlash was considerable. In the case of Wilson's '94 campaign, we won the battle and totally lost the war. The state hasn't had a decent Governor since George Deukmejian, and it's unfortunate we couldn't have followed him up with somebody of similar calibre. And when I heard Wilson was thinking about challenging Boxer... These RINOs are a scourge.
