So again, my question...why do Conservates ferverishly believe that a Conservative could ever win in California?
Because facts show the support is there. If the GOP would do their job and support the platform, instead of stabbing conservatives in the back and foisting big-spending, big-borrowing, gun-grabbing, enviro-wacko, pro-abortion, pro-GLBT candidates on the electorate, we could be successful.

They don't. Pretend-conservatives want to run ultra conservatives, so the Dems will keep winning undisturbed. It's a divide and conquer strategy -- sucker some conservatives into not supporting a moderate Republican, who actually has a chance of winning, to strengthen the Demoicrats. The defeat of the reform propositions has been a great victory for the Dems. Some here who claim to be conservatives, such as calcowgirl were voting exactly the same way as the Democrats. They were never able to explain how voting with the Democrats on important issues is "the conservative thing to do".
These are the same people who supported McClintock, to split the Republicans and give the Dems a better chance at winning. How do I know this, because now, when McClintock strongly supported and campaigned for the reform propositions, they turned against him.
How is it conservative to push the Dem agenda and help more Dems be elected is beyond me.
