Here is the SacBee version from yesterday. It goes on to highlight how Republicans don't win in California unless they are supported by the millions from the moderate bunch. Will it be Governor Whitman or Governor Fiorina?
Influential GOPers 'CRAFT' new groupA who's who group of California Republicans will announce on Wednesday the formation of a new political organization whose mission will be to recruit and elect GOP candidates to statewide office in California.
The group will be chaired by Larry Dodge, the wealthy Republican donor who has been unhappy with the organization of the California Republican Party accusing the party of lacking "professional management."
Former California GOP Chairman Duf Sundheim will serve as executive director of the group, which is calling itself California Republicans Aligned for Tomorrow (CRAFT).
Paul Folino, a Orange County Republican financier with close ties to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and a leader of The New Majority, another GOP group, will serve as vice-chairman.
Among those set to announce the group's formation on a Wednesday conference call include both GOP legislative leaders, Assemblyman Mike Villines and Sen. Dave Cogdill, Party chairman Ron Nehring, former Gov. Pete Wilson, Rep. David Dreier, the chair of the California Republican congressional delegation, freshman Rep. Kevin McCarthy and Assemblywoman Sharon Runner.

CRAFT ? call it FARCT , a more apt description of their little progre$$ive “movement”, imo. We have been inFARCTed for years , with the Rodney Kings long enough.. and now this..
Wasn’t there a Craft movie some years back. it involved witchcraft and living sacrifices and young nubile women. ;-)
These aren't committed conservative Republicans! They're just pathetic pragmatic Publicans!!! (well, you can look it up under Oakland Raider's General Partner, Al Davis)

In other words, it's full speed ahead to complete the de-nutting of the CRP. It's working just fine, too -- conservatives have jumped ship in droves. We recognize the Titanic when we see her...
