Republicans everywhere should be ahead by 15 points or more.

I can understand the position of staying home to punish Republicans. I can even understand voting for Libertarians or Constitutionalists.

But there is no concievable reason to ever vote for a Democrat. And Americans are, quite frankly, stupid to have forgotten history so quickly.

I don't know of a single conservative or Republican in California planning to "stay home" or vote democrat.

There are plenty of reasons to show up:

1. To vote YES on Lt. Gov Tom McClintock
2. To vote YES on AG Chuck Poochigian (vs. Moonbeam as Top Cop)
3. To vote YES on Conroller Tony Strickland
4. To vote NO on Debt
5. To vote NO on Taxes

Not THIS year!

A 'throw-away' vote is a Democrat vote and too much is at risk.
