Risk, tell you what...Your post made me realize that I need to leave the "He's-a-RINO" debate out of the threads about the California recall election. This election is unique, of course. It's a completely open election; no primary; no run-off. It's a free-for-all. As I mentioned, my beef is with those who, once the Party has nominated it's candidate, threaten to take a walk in the general election because they may disagree with the nominee a third of the time or so. This recall election doesn't relate to that kind of situation.

Here's what I intend to do: I intend to listen to all the GOP candidates (to make sure one of them isn't a complete embarrassment), keep the options open, and then if all the candidates appear to be bunched up by October 7th, vote for the one I think is the best candidate. But if the "best" candidate is stuck in single-digits, and the leading Republican can use my vote to assure his victory, I'm voting for that candidate. Now, if there are "RINO-baiters" here who are willing to let Bustamante win in order to keep their "purity," then I have a concern about that, but they can do what they want.

Well that's all I've been asking the Ahrnold Buffet minions to do. That's a wise way to look at it.

I have been REVOLTED by the quickness that so many on here, and in Talk Radio's lesser venues (like Hugh Hewit, etc) who have been so lightning quick to sycophantically support that guy who has nothing but cliched populist phrases. He may get alot better, but everyone needs to let them campaign for at least a month!
