The perfect is the enemy of the good. Getting Fiorina, if she has a good chance to win, is FAR better than getting a perfect conservative who has no potential as a candidate. In many areas we can demand both from a candidate, but we’re talking California. Fiorina is not my favorite or even close, but she’s the best we’re likely to get in CA and far better than six more years of Boxer.

Good post, I agree 100%. What is truly frightening is that many can't see that flogging a dead horse is an activity best left for idiots. Devore can't win, heaven knows he's had every opportunity to get traction ... so, next step, what do we do? Whine about principles and let the RINOs or democrats take over. I wouldn't call Campbell even a Republican, yet we have a moron like Keyes supporting Campbell indirectly.

Schwarzenegger was not perfect by any means, and he has not been good. He’s not been conservative, principled, or competent.

That’s what “the perfect is the enemy of the good” gets you.

Another Austrian Sheisskopf!

Good argument for Moloch over Jesus, and DeSade over Florence Nightingale.

Settle. Compromise. Lie down. Roll over.

Bah.

Fiorina has been the kiss of death to many of the companies she managed. I doubt she will be good for CA.
