Me too. I just don’t remember, if I ever did. I have tried to FReepMail her to no avail.

What’s your take on this time around? Do you have some thoughts to offer up on the gubernatorial and U.S. Senate seats, or others?

I’m at a loss on some of these. The governor’s position has be grasping at straws.

Perhaps it’s best if we take a dive on this one.

Well, I'm a little different than others. In the Senate race I obviously favor DeVore, but frankly, I fear Fiorina more than Campbell. I know Tom personally and think him a man of reasonable intelligence and (for a politician) above average integrity. Frankly, I think it is that very integrity which is why he is so bad at raising money; he won't make promises he doesn't intend to keep.

Unfortunately, Tom is easily fooled because of a naive credulity for those of his academic "peerage." That said, I disagree with his positions, but he will debate honestly and is capable of being persuaded. I don't think him arrogant.

I do think he's gotten a bad rap re Israel. After all, if he was pro-Muslim, why was he against the war in Kosovo? From what I can tell, the truth is that he wants to be compassionate and believed the crap the Palestinians fed him.

Fiorina OTOH is a craven climber WAY out of her league, as we saw at the companies she wrecked. She is instead a pretender to leadership, effectively a high-priced stooge. She is VERY dangerous because her ambition blinds her to all else.

Consider her (supposedly) pro-2A position. This is the type of pol who knows very well a UN small arms trade treaty is in the works that (in her mind) makes the 2A moot. Hence, she can use support of it as cover. From what I can tell, it is a common gambit this year among this year's crop of closet power-freaks.

As to the governor's race... Dear G-d in heaven, please help us.

What rational conservative would want to preside over the collapse of this once great State. Hence, the three chasing the position now are all three disastrous choices. Although one might wish Jerry Brown preside over such a melt-down, he is the one person in the race truly capable of making things far worse than they are likely to be. That leaves the mandate to fight him.

Poizner or Whitman? I detest them both. Poizner is a vacillating sleaze, while Whitman is just plain vicious. I probably will not place a vote for the nomination of either, but will probably hold my nose in the general. This is by far the worst election choice I have ever seen.

These thoughts probably reflect yours unless I miss my guess. Fair enough?
