If conservatives surrender their franchise both parties win. If conservatives vote for a liberal Republican not only would the state suffer, but liberals would continue their death grip on the CAGOP party apparatus. If conservatives vote for the little socialist weasel, they deserve their fate.
My recommendation. Work against the liberals in the CAGOP, bite the bullet when the Democrats win in November and then wrestle back control of a lost party when Sundheim, Wilson and their New Majority financiers rush to escape the sinking ship. I'll be waiting to throw them an anchor.
I'd certainly like to see a conservative elected governor in California in 2010 but don't see any Democrat alternatives and I'm certain that Wilson and Sundheim will pull the rug out from under Senator McClintock just before the election which puts a solid conservative out of public service and out of the public eye.

The CA GOP is screwed. Our fearless leader has hired all Democrats to run his administration, i.e. the same Democrats WE WORKED TO RECALL when we booted Gray Davis.
The only meaningful thing to do in November is to get Schwarzenegger out of office!! As long as he's governor, there IS NO VIABLE California GOP. As long as he's governor, he OWN'S the CA GOP.
Vote for the Democrat, unless perhaps, some independent starts polling at 40% or higher. Use your vote, your franchise for some meaningful purpose. Dump Schwarzenegger and his RINO/Democrap buddies in November.
Will it be disasterous to have a real Democrat in the governor's office? Certainly. But electing Schwarzenegger will only be worse, because he will be claiming a mandate, and very shortly after the election, a NATIONAL mandate for everything he does in your name.
I'm not some Democrat Underground/KOS "poser" folks. I'm speaking seriously. The CA GOP needs to get Schwarzenegger out of Sacramento ASAP, along with his Gray Davis and Pete Wilson buddies. As repulsive as this may be, VOTING FOR THE DEMOCRAT is the only way we can deny Schwarzenegger a mandate for pushing California, and the national GOP hard left politically.
Then recall his Marxist ass out of Sacramento twelve months later.

Pretty much the evaluation process I went through just before the primary. Our family (7) will not be casting any votes for that left wing POS, Angelides. I will be no-voting the Austrian, perhaps writing in McClintock again, if only to make me feel better. Steel and Fire and Stone, while I understand what you're doing, and why you are doing it, I am simply unable--mentally or physically--to actually cast a vote for a Rat (unless a rare conservative one), certainly not a despicable little communist like Angelides.

Agree this is by far the best strategy for true conservatives (naturally, the pretend-conservatives on these threads will not buy in). When Dufus Sundheim and Petey jump ship, that will be my rowboat in the water and I will be the one holding the harpoon.
