An energized state Republican party launched the general election campaign this morning at a victory rally at the Hilton hotel in Anaheim. The theme of the day and perhaps of the campaign: The GOP nominees represent new blood while the Democratic ticket is dominated by career politicians.
Without a doubt, the GOP ticket is its most diverse in years in ethnicity and gender. It's led by two women - gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman and U.S. Senate nominee Carly Fiorina; a Latino - Lt. Gov. nominee Abel Maldonado; and an African-American - Secretary of State nominee Damon Dunn.
Fiorina drove home the theme, saying, "This election is about the future, not the past, not the tired old politics from a bunch of kind of tired old career politicians." She was referring to Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown and U.S. Senate incumbent Barbara Boxer.

It’s also the most ideologically undiverse ticket... all liberal RINO.
This is California; not South Carolina, Georgia or Alabama. It will come to a point when California will have all conservative candidate for GOP ticket, California need time to change that.
California has retrogressed, they’re not getting better, they’re getting worse. Look at the Governorship. In the 1982 GOP primary, you had a face-off between the Conservative Lt Governor Mike Curb and the Conservative Atty Gen George Deukmejian, now flash forward to 2010 and you had two liberals, Whitman & Poizner. Just ridiculous. Even the treacherous DIABLO Lt Governor Maldonado winning the GOP nomination over a mainstream Conservative Aanestad was just sad and pathetic...
It has yet to even do that, apparently.
I endorsed Sam Aanestad for Lt. Governor, even before McClintock did. I don’t live in CA, but my vote would make no difference if I did.
If you can see that from Tennessee then why can’t people not only living in this state, but POSTING ON THIS BOARD, to understand it?
‘Tis a puzzlement. BTW, Mike Curb lives about 20 minutes or so away from me in the Nashville ‘burbs. CA just ain’t “Golden” no mo.
