Norm, what part of California are you living in? I know Chuck DeVore personally very well (although I don't live in his district) and I will say without reservation that he is one of the finest Americans I have ever known. He is a smart man, clear thinker, moral and honorable, and would make a fantastic US Senator someday.
So while you might not like his analysis, keep an eye on him as he is in his mid-40s and is going places. I volunteered to serve as his chief of staff if he ever gets to the Senate.
Regrettably, I am in San Jose where we have liberals up the ying yang at all levels of gubamint.
You are blessed if your rep is decent.
Would that more were..
The GOP needs to get its act together and quit diddling while Rome burns. :)
