"the CA GOP strategy base"

Please define what that means.

To me this means the GOPers we need, plus the wishy washy, easily swayed, completely unreliable, often unwashed, middleground. They aren't GOP, but they're needed in the strategy to win.

This leads again to Newzjunky's observation that your goal (my words) is to divide first the GOP. With division within the GOP the middleground will never follow. But, you know that, don't you?

So, these totally wishy washy unreliable unwashed middleground folks are here on FR? And they are swayed by freepers who criticize the Governor for implementing liberal policies?

I have no interest in dividing the GOP. I would like to see them unite behind the PLATFORM. When they jettison that platform and adopt principles more like those of the Democrats, they are the ones who have caused division.

Thank you, Dick Morris. Cynical triangulation strategy to get the power, because that's the whole goal. When you set up your political strategy to gain the support of the wishy washy, easily swayed, completely unreliable, often unwashed, middleground, all you get are wishy washy, easily swayed, completely unreliable, often unwashed, policies and governance.
