Conservatives comprise about 35% of the registered Republicans in California. That's 10% to 15% of those casting ballots depending on turnout. Without those conservative votes any Republican is toast. Even liberal Republicans seeking to offset conservative losses with gains in the soft left.
At this time the polls favor the Austrian over the other two domestic liberals in the gubernatorial race. But the bottom will fall of those stats after the soft left sees the Austrian deserted by Republicans in the June primary. Comparing the approval ratings between Governor and Lt. Governor in the partisan primary will, most likely, sink the Austrian Pretender. No one likes to back a looser.
California may well face another liberal for 4 years but at least she will be rid of a duplicitous, foreign interloper. The state will survive and the CRP will be rid of a curse.
The race for Governor has left conservatives no good choice. Angelides is awful. Westly is awful. Schwarzenegger is awful (a little less, but still awful).
No matter what folks do at the top of the ticket, I do hope that people DO VOTE. There are a lot of other solid conservatives/republicans on the ballot that deserve (and have earned) our support.
Agreed. The sooner we get rid of him, the better.
