The dems running in this race make it REAL EASY to vote for the Republicans (not that I wouldn't anyway). I don't know Cruz Bustamente's challenger, but I do know Cruz, and I'd vote for a trained pony rather than him.
Bustamante's challenger is the liberal Steve Poizner (R), who is inundating the airwaves with an $11 million ad buy.
The LA Times even endorsed Poizner over Bustamante.
It's a little alarming that the LA Times endorsed Poizner, but I'm still voting for him rather than Bustamante.
YAWN. I cannot listen to Jerry Brown.
Funny how Brown kept praising Governors Schwarzenegger and Wilson to try to paint Poochigian as an extremist.
Here's the fatal drink word of the debate: "extremist"
Wouldn't you just know that the key question Hank Plante had to ask was today's court decision against gay marriage? ;-)
Yep--in Brown's eyes, anything to the right of Schwarzenegger is now "extremist."
How dare Pooch not support the socialist Global Warming legislation! /s
To vote for Jerry for AG would be like voting for evil to be good.
The line about you meet with Castro more times than I meet with Presidents was great.
