Declaring someone unelectable and refusing to support him for that reason is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If everyone who agreed with the conservative candidates voted for tehm instead of the "pragmatic" Kennedy Republican, they would have enough to build a plurality and win this race. But too many of you would rather waste your vote on a liberal because he is a movie star with an R after his name.

Pragmatism doesn't work.

No, it's called being a realist. The man has only 5% support in the polls...and there's a good reason why. This state is about as liberal as one gets. And even though liberals seem to want davis out they're not about to replace him with a conservative. If you think otherwise you're dreaming. That's not self-fulfilling prophecy, it's just fact.

If everyone who agreed with the conservative candidates voted for tehm instead of the "pragmatic" Kennedy Republican, they would have enough to build a plurality and win this race.

You're wrong again. There's just far too many Californians who agree with the conservative candidates to get them elected. Californians, though not necessarily conservatives, elected dianne feinstein. And polls show they would elect her governor had she run. And you think we outnumber those die hard liberals who only have one real choice on the ballot? If so, you're dreaming.

But too many of you would rather waste your vote on a liberal because he is a movie star with an R after his name.

You have absolutely no idea who I'll vote for and you're certainly way off as to my motive(s). I merely stated the obvious...a die-hard conservative is unelectable in the liberal state of California. Set aside your emotions for just one minute and you might see that.
