If I'm not mistaken there will be a primary if a challenger presents but the CAGOP has taken the unusual step to endorse a gubernatorial candidate before the primary making a competitive primary race almost impossible (no sponsors willing to donate, therefore no campaign).

Please don't take this as gospel because others are adamant that there will be NO Republican primary. None however have produced published evidence of that fact.

What do you mean, "no published evidence of that fact?" Weren't you on those threads back in February in response to the CAGOP convention as it was happening?

You are right! There will be a primary and both Gerald Parsky and Darrel Issa threw their hats into the ring at the February convention... But the dumb delegates got stampeded into swooning for Schwartzie Baby and voted for a one time rule change allowing them to then vote to prematurely endorse him for Governor way back then!!!

So virtually there might at well not be any Primary, which is why many of us have been saying there is no Primary!!! (somebody correct me if I'm mistaken, or wrong, please)

Now... Since I believe the above to be true and largely correct... And since Arnroid essentially hijacked a Recall that Darrel Issa had invested a million of his own fortune to help the grassroots conservatives that got the whole thing started... I think it would be justice if Issa would be paid back by being given the Primary nod by Republicans in '06, just to pay him back and to pay Arnroid back for this flagrant mis-appointment that is way worse than the Harriet what's-her-name SCOTUS appointment!!!

If there's a Republican Primary, Schwarzenegger won't be getting my vote. I'll do my best to make sure he doesn't get a vote from anyone I know on the right either.

If there's a Republican Primary then we've got our work cut out for us. That primary is our only chance to avoid four more years of indigestion.

No but if the rank and file isn't allowed to pick a candidate, they will stay home in November with deleterious consequences for the establishment. I don't really mind giving the RINOs a taste of their own medicine. What have they done for us, lately?
