said Julie Soderlund, a consultant to Republican candidates and former spokeswoman to then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and 2010 U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina.

Well, that's certainly some recommendation! She worked for two RINO losers! Now she wants to lose again.

why not just cede the leftist parts of the state to Mexico and be done with it? Let the Mexicans handle the mess.

As long as the CA state party keeps pushing failed Socialism, leftist RINO candidates (Ah-nold/Whitman) and backstabbing phonies (Maldonado), the party will continue to dwindle to complete irrelevance.

Maybe if the republicans put up some “moderates” we’d win. You know, high taxes, pro-choice, pro-illegal immigrant, anti-drilling. Those kinds of people are “popular” in CA.

We need a good chant, here is one:

Remove the RINOs, Replace the Rockefellers!!!!
Remove the RINOs, Replace the Rockefellers!!!!
Remove the RINOs, Replace the Rockefellers!!!!
Remove the RINOs, Replace the Rockefellers!!!!
Remove the RINOs, Replace the Rockefellers!!!!

That is what is needed to clean up the Republican Party.

Looks to me that they haven’t learned their lessons. They should see what state GOP’s are doing in the south and midwest.

How has this been working in the Democrat party? They got a lot of moderate candidates to appeal to the independent voter?

Republicans out there should try conservativism.

Their “moderate”, “big tent” tactics aren’t working...

There is none so blind as he/she/it who will not see!!!

All these timid RINO's need do is look at what conservatism's common sense has finally done for WI, AZ, NJ, LA, OH, SC, MS and ME!!!

Madison WI was every bit as radically left as Berkeley, CA and look at it now!!!

Pete Wilson and a handful of others are behind this hideous logjam in CA and it sucks canal water!!!

?

Did you follow the 2008 primary? It was filled with "moderates" (i.e. liberals calling themselves Republicans).

They all went down in flames.
