Seems a curious logic. Usually a state party organization pays some attention to its traditions and philosophical principles.
I guess that's why the CAGOP is in the hole. They just keep digging. Must have been a stunner for those toiling with their spades yesterday when Wilsonegger advised that he supported and represented Democrats.
Please list the names of Republicans in state wide elected positions in CA, with the exception of Arnold.
The Lincoln Club must have choked on their martinis the other day:

Pollster Steve Kinney - I'm not confident that the Governor will seek re-election.

This morning meeting of the San Gabriel Valley Lincoln Club featured pollster Steve Kinney. Steve is great pollster and I enjoy and incorporate many of his messages into political. He has worked for liberals and conservatives.
Kinney showed through data that California is not the radical left-wing state that the media makes it out to be. Our poll numbers are virtually the same on issues as they are in the rest of the country. There is an exception in illegal immigration. California is more concerned about illegals than the rest of the country.
Kinney also listed several issues that polled high in intensity among Californians. The Governor managed to mention only one of them in his State of the State speech (sex offenders).
Kinney also pointed out that the Governor didn't do well among GOP voters in the special election. I'm sure more debt and fees should do the trick.
In response to a question, Kinney explained that he hasn't given up hope on the Governor and hoped the "new blood" of Aguiar, Mendelsohn and Schmidt would help. He also added that he wasn't "confident that the Governor was going to seek re-election." Interesting indeed.
