I'm Not so sure of that but we here in California never have a true (R) running. I now wish that we would not have pushed Davis out & got Aharnold. That was a big mistake but Kalifooneeha is today a big mistake (political).
I am in Northern California and he did vote for Jerry Brown he talks about on his show and is sometimes remorseful about it. You are right that we never have true conservatives running Rinos at best ala Meg Whitman who was on Gloria Allreds hit list who went after her during the election with Meg’s former employees accusations who I beleive was in the US illegally.
California is screwed and deep blue and where I live it’s deep deep blue.
Tom McClintock got 13 percent in that race. He should have gotten Ahnold's votes too. He would have been a much better governor than Ahnold, Davis, or Moonbeam.
