With the exception of Bloomberg, 2005 will be remembered as a RINO Massacre.

Hardly. You forgot the Ohio ballot measures and gay marriage in Texas.

California is a lost cause. No conservative can be elected to statewide office there, and "conservative" issues are not going to carry the day.

Democrats won in NJ and Virginia, succeeding....Democrats.

No massacre, just a status-quo election.

NJ and VA didn't change parties, neither did CA for that matter. What mattered most were the ballot issues that most people in CA should have gone and voted for instead of staying home and blaming the Governor for the mess they find themselves in.
