Harmer is not a RINO. He’s the real deal.

I don’t mind a Rino in a strong Dem district. Helps us win back the House. It’s when Rinos run in safe Republican districts that I get upset.

The party didn't give Harmer a cent.

He's not a Liberal Democrat, so why would they?

No, and Blue Drewss Ellen herself always declared herself to be a ‘bluedog.’

Unfortunately, the CC Times would do nothing to expose her voting record.

You have no idea what you’re talking about; Harmer is a solid conservative.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Little would be please me more than seeing the smug liberal smile wiped from Garamendi’s face, but this is the bay area we’re talking about.

“Not a chance.”

Agreed. But if the Republican stays within 5 percentage points that would be a great result, as it would indicate that even in such a bastion of leftist insanity as the Bay Area people are getting disgusted with the Dims.

Maybe we can put a little scare into the Dems, even with a close loss.

I disremember who it was, but someone on the NY23 threads said several times on various threads that Harmer was very close, and that if the Republican leadership would give him the money instead of Scuzzy, it would put him over the top.

Of course they were too stupid to do that.

Maybe it’s still possible, the drawback being that in a close race the Dems will cheat. Let us hope, anyway.

"as it would indicate that even in such a bastion of leftist insanity as the Bay Area people are getting disgusted with the Dims."

The 10th contains some of the most wealthy and conservative towns in the country.

What the conservatives need to do in CA is what Hoffman did in NY. They need to nominate a Tea Party conservative and run him against districts that have a liberal Democrat and a liberal Republican on the ticket. Let the Dem and Republican split the liberal vote, while the Tea Party candidate takes all of the conservative vote. I think that California could swing conservative if they follow this strategy.

Maybe the Dems won’t bother to cheat, thinking they have it in the bag. Also, (from the article), Republicans tend to vote in greater numbers in off year elections, and this is as off year as you can get. Finally, Republicans are motivated, scared really, about the direction this country is in, while the Dems have no compelling reason to get up and vote.

I remember it back before the leftist crackpots all migrated there- it was a wonderful place. I was born there, and miss those days very much.

I’m in Virginia now- looks like the rats are getting rousted at bayonet point tonight here- it’s like a 2-1 rout with about a quarter of the precincts reporting.

All day, I’ve heard ABC Democratic Party News say repeatedly that this doesn’t reflect on Obama’s administration. To that I answer (in my halfway decent Jeremiah Wright impression) “Obama’s chickennns...have come hommme...to roossst”.

I wish y’all well on dumping Tauscher.
