Bill Jones isn't nearly far left enough according the RINO-luvin' gang. If he was, they would have voted for him instead of REARDON in 2002. During the recall election, remember how they ranted and raved that ANYONE who's even remotely pro-life is UNELECTABLE in California? Bill Jones fails the RINO "electablity" test on that issue alone. You basically have to be a socialist with an "R" next to his name to meet the threshold of "electabality" according to the Arnold/Bloomberg/Specter fan club.
I'd take Jones over RINO Arnold clone Rosario Marin anyday. Indeed, Bill Jones is kind of the "Jim Ryan" of California (internal reference for Illinoisans) but he's even lookin' better than Kaloogian right now. Kaloogian got everyone saddled with Arnold, which is worse than Jones trying to saddle people with McCain.
Anyway, the RINO club is whole-heartily backing Marin, not Jones. I hope they get their wish with Marin too, so they can see how "electable" non-celebrity RINOs are.
