On the issues, Kaloogian is the clear choice here. On taking on Boxer, Kaloogian will be the one with the stones to deal with the Boxer smear machine...Jones is too nice or comes across as too rigid, Marin and Casey are Boxer Jrs. and people will vote for the real pro-abort woman over Democrat-lite.
And for what it's worth, the latest primary numbers according to the LaLaTimes...
Among likely GOP primary voters, Jones is ahead with 44%; followed by former Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian, 12%; Toni Casey, former mayor of the Bay Area city of Los Altos Hills, 10%; and former U.S. Treasurer Rosario Marin, 8%. But the race is fluid: 24% remain undecided and 36% of those who named a favored candidate say they might change their minds.

If polls are correct, you might as well vote your conscience as Jones appears to be the nominee regardless.

I actually think that all candidates have good qualities. However outside of Jones with his well known name and Kaloogian with his now known recall fame the other two are too much not known and against a biggie like Boxer I cant see them winning...
i like Kaloogians grass roots kinda style. It does get people on their toes. However I would say go with whom Arnold will support. In the last two weeks Arnolds drive to get his bonds has turned dramatically in his favor in the polls. And there was a new poll today regarding his popularity at it is swelling...
Arnold is our only chance to get the voters to oust BOXER......!

I like my spin :)
60% of voters undecided or not committed to the candidate they said they would support.
Poll was taken one week ago BEFORE Kaloogian started his TV and radio buy and BEFORE Kaloogian got statewide and national press on a variety of issues.
In a low turnout election with conservatives dominating (passive Republicans staying home as they can't vote in the BIG political race that has all the attention - the Demo Presidential primary) Kaloogian's still got a shot.
We're working hard!!
