The point of repudiating a Republican candidate who double deals as is alleged that Meg Whitman has done is to discipline now and future candidates. This is not an office that will decide control of the Senate, rather it is the chief executive of the state of California which state is almost certainly heading for bankruptcy.

The question is do we want a Republican governor who behaves like Arnold Schwarzenegger while presiding over the disintegration of the nation's biggest state and, Bush like, so discredit the Republican brand that nothing can be rescued from the ashes? Or do we want a governor after the pattern of New Jersey's Gov. Christie will make the case so that the voters can put the blame where it belongs and maybe even save the state?

The old line is that politics is the art of the possible.

This is not an office that will decide control of the Senate, rather it is the chief executive of the state of California which state is almost certainly heading for bankruptcy.

The United States of America is also headed for bankruptcy. So we should sit on our hands this election?

Or do we want a governor after the pattern of New Jersey's Gov. Christie

It is often noted on this site that Gov Christie's CV is less than pure conservatism. The quest for purity is suicide.
