The best we can do for governor is Meg Whitman.

I've heard this blather for years now in California, it wasn't true with Arnold, and it's not true with Whitman.

Furthermore, she is pro-Abortion.

Which in this conservative's book makes her somebody I can't vote for unless I am willing to sacrifice my most important principles.

I guess the GOP decided it did not want the votes of conservatives this year.

Oh BFD. Look she's pro-choice and if she were vociferously pro-life, she would lose. Simple as that. California is not Alabama. And as governor she has no power to do anything about abortion. Did you ever take a course in civics or government. Abortion is a FEDERAL issue. The governor is extremely limited in what they can do about it. If you were to vote for a local water commissioner, would abortion be an issue with you?

For the record I'm pro life but not every office should be about this issue. You need to learn the mechanics of government, and not make every election a referendum on abortion. You and your type are one of the reasons we are losing elections.

Have you looked around and noticed that there are not all that many conservatives around in California. We cannot always get the ideal candidate. Grown ups realize that we make progress incrementally. And besides just who do you want for governor? Why don't you run? What conservative would you suggest voting for? Give me some answers. If you don't have a conservative, then what do you suggest? I so damn sick and tired of you people who have absolutely no answers other than longing for the perfect conservative candidate who is going to ride up on a white horse. Where is this guy? You guys (or gals) are causing us to lose elections. You are the reason the Democrats control Congress. You are a huge part of the problem. You are like a child who breaks his toys when he doesn't get his way. Grow up.
