No.

Casey is an also-ran, who, depsite trying very hard to build momentum since announcing her intention of seeking the seat in early 2002, has generated little in the way of endorsements or funding.

Rosario Marin is an utterly affirmative action candidate. Ask yourself, would someone whose major experience in politics is as a disability activist and mayor of a city of only 85,000 people generate anything like the support Rosario has if her name were "Rose Martin?"

Kaloogian is the best of a sorry lot, although Jones is probably who I'm going to end up voting for.

Well - will see. In mid-February I think we'll have a better sense of who you will end up voting for. If Kaloogian has momentum my guess is you'll be backing him and hoping he surges to a decisive primary victory.

If Jones has established himself as a dominant frontrunner my guess is it will be the reverse - you'll hold your nose and vote for him because of the argument that having a nominee come out with strength is important.

Fair assessment?

Now now. I don't think the lot is sorry! Wouldn't it be great if Kaloogian or Jones got in? Come on, this is great, and it could happen! :)

The only person I think is rather unqualified for the Repubs is Rosario. And that was only after I checked her background (which is not very conservative imho).

But Kaloogian and Jones? Great!

We gotta support our people clam. I think we can win :)
