"...would the national GOP be better off if Sen. John McCain had been elected President and then engaged in a wholesale abandonment of Republican Party principles?"

Just as his buddy Arnold Schwartzenegger has done to CA conservative Republicans!!!

Republican party principles have been abandoned for some time and will not re-appear in Cali until the state goes into hard bankruptcy.

Furlough Fridays will become Furlough week, followed by furlough month.

Whenever there's a state holiday the streets and highways around here look vacant. The government impact has been unreal and cannot be sustained- this bubble is gonna pop. Until it does, everyone will think as they have (liberally) and will only change when it(reality) hits them in the face.

Districting rigs the elections in favor of the liberal, big, cities. Liberals will be able to run this state into the ditch and no one will be able to stop them. Conservatives will not elect a governor until things get so bad (unemployment hits 40%, etc.) the public wakes up to the failure of socialism and stateism.

As someone pointed above, the Gingriches and others, rather than lead, move to the front of where the 'mob' is headed to appear 'leaders'. Nationally, voters are more upset with the direction we're headed (tea parties) than in our state. NY-23 was a head-fake and Newt got caught jumping in front of a movement that's in jeopardy of extinction (moderation of principles- a big fail).

Conservatism could pull independents nationally and clean-up the mess there before a similar movement occurs here in CA. When you see a Republican governor on the horizon you'll know the tow-truck's already been called.
