You scouldrel, did it as a joke?
I liked endorsing people there, but they won’t let me anymore since the site went offline and came back, and the list of endorsers cut off when it filled up so I couldn’t see all of mine, I’d wanted to delete a couple.
Crowded primary, like 1988’s. Hate to see a RINO win with just 37%. He almost beat Cranston though.
No county wins for 3rd place (Antonich, LA Supervisor who just lost a State Senate race) and Bobbi Fiedler (she gave up a House seat to place a poor 4th? Ouch) but the 5th place dude had scant plurality wins in tiny Alpine and Lassen, and he was from LA County, odd.
It would’ve been curious to see how he’d have functioned as a Senator. Of course, had he been a Democrat, he’d have gotten full media adoration coverage. Republican ? He gets ignored.
Bobbi Fiedler would’ve been an interesting candidate, but unfortunately as with Maureen Reagan in 1982, she was a strong pro-abort candidate (and pro-ERA). She was badly hurt by being one of 4 serious L.A.-area and politically ruined when it was criminally alleged she tried to pay off Ed Davis to get out of the race (she’d have had to pay off the other 2 guys as well).
Likely the support she’d have gotten absent the scandal would’ve come out of Zschau’s as a social liberal Republican. He benefitted by being a non-L.A. candidate, though. A single unified L.A. candidate would’ve won the nomination (or if Fiedler had gotten more votes out of Zschau to tip it to Herschensohn).
Did you ever think you’d live long enough to see California cease to be competitive for a Republican candidate statewide ?
