Yes, we should keep putting up guys like Bill Simon and the guy that ran against Boxer last time. That's a sure way to make sure that the Mexican Socialists take over the state. The fact is, about 70-80% of people in California are socially liberal. You can nominate all the social conservatives you want, but they just can't win statewide office.

Where do you get that stupid statistic? 80% liberal???? When you make up data you are at risk of sounding like an idiot.

As for Bill Simon's loss, there is not one shred of evidence that he lost because of his conservative views. He lost because Gray Davis spent SIXTY MILLION dollars making a twisted argument that Bill is crooked.

Based on your reasoning liberal Republicans who get nominated should win in general elections or do better than conservatives. They don't. They lose far worse. Tom Campbell running for Senate got 32% in 2000! John Seymour was clobbered by Feinstein in 92, getting only 34%. In 1994 when Republicans were winning everywhere statewide, one of the few to lose was pro-abortion Michael Huffington.

Go spin your myths elsewhere. You have no facts to back up your dumb assertions.

Huffington barely lost to Feinstein and had beat super social conservative Dannemeyer, so you're kind of proving my point. I'll bet you can't name the last time a social conservative won office in a statewide election. I sure can't. Even Reagan ran the state from a fairly liberal view on social issues.
