The RINOs did it first.

Not completely. Not yet.
If Arnold's not re-elected, what do you think the chances of McClintock are for Lt Gov?

GOVERNOR LOSES 19% OF REPUBLICAN BASE

Support for Schwarzenegger’s re-election has dropped since September when 36% of voters said they would vote for the governor and 49% said they would vote against him. This reflects the growing disapproval among the governor’s Republican base, 69% of whom said they would vote to re-elect him in September, versus only 50% now.

You don't understand California to say that.

Our biggest problem is so many people have connections to government employment and unions connected to government employment.
This gives hundreds of millions each election to be used to maintain or get more power by them.
They maintain or gain power through Democrats, so the Democrats have control of the state in the Legislature.

The people in the state mostly lead a good life and are not all that active in politics. They all mostly don't understand the consequences of having liberals in power in the state and how it hurts prosperity and business.

Our problem is we need to do a lot of educating and it will take a long time.

The recent increases in home prices have made the state flow with cash from some doubling of property taxes.

The Conservatives need to get out and vote in heavy numbers more often and the Republican party needs IMO to have a branch that goes from door to door regularly or mails material to educate the electorate.

If we can swing 7% of the voters from left to right, then we have a strong conservative state regarding politics.

We need to keep trying.

Republicans don't take any responsibility in for the State California is in, do they?
