Almost sounds as if Ms. Shrider was a convention delegate.

Will the gang attempt to placate the right with a bone or simply ignore them?

Right now the gang has it own set of problems. Republican Assemblymen are getting even with the gang for the gang's abuse of the legislative process and the gang's financiers are demanding a cash cow by June so that they can, in turn, recruit more members to their financial investment group. A real chicken and egg dilemma.

If it were up to Wilson he'd throw a bone. Anything to keep his group in power. He'd throw the Austrian overboard if he could find a suitable replacement by Friday. Wilson has got the money, he's got control of the CRP and he's got a tacit alliance with the RNC. What Wilson lacks is a dependable spokesman.

The Austrian, raised in period that still clung to the appeals of fascism, exposed to the theory of the wisdom of a paternal governance by his wife's relatives and imbued with the idea that a dominant personality can prevail against the masses as a result of his prior experiences, is simply giving Wilson headaches.

"a group devoted to the sanctity of human life, heterosexual marriage and private property rights, a group that knows how to behave when the colors are presented, can say the pledge of allegiance without mumbling and sing the national anthem without stumbling"

Now somebody try to tell me just what's wrong with ANY of THAT??? That kinda stuff has been the spirit of Conservative Republicanism that I admire and cherish and I want it back in the lime light in CA, not the lame light of the mediocre moderate New Repub Majority, or the CA Repub Congress, or any other such maudlin meddlin lukewarm bunch!!!

And I'm especially sick of the celluloid celebrity hero worship of a blowhard who NEVER really follows through on his big talk without flinchin like a literal chicken just before you bend down to grab it!!! Sheeeeesh!!!

He acts like he never learned a danged thing from the bad actor that Davis was, except how to out-Davis DAVIS!!!

None of us ever bargained for that, but that's sure what we are lookin at!!! Who can endorse THAT in good conscience??? THAT literally sucks canal water and everybody knows it!!! (Now he wants to borrow money to rebuild the canal levees!)
