Oh...thought this was gonna be another Joe Biden thread.
It would be appropriate for an Evelle Younger thread. Younger, who was California's Attorney General, ran for governor in 1978, hoping to unseat Jerry Brown. His conservative opponent, LA police chief Ed Davis complained that Younger was "as exciting as a mashed potato sandwich." Nonetheless, Younger won the primary--he apparently won GOP voters over with his boast that he had never lost an election.
A RINO who agreed with Brown on most issues, Younger went on to lose his first--and last--election when he was blown out by Brown, and he was never heard from again.
