You have a very odd sense of principle. Regardless, I never said that I’m not going to vote for her; I just said her ever more frequent RINO-like endorsements and odd speeches are a vote-killer. She’s not at the point where I won’t vote, but I am getting more and more retrospective about why I made my mind up about her so early.
It is not a matter of principle but of pragmatic reality. California is a prize that can be won. Having the backing of power and money is helpful.
To rely on powerless California conservatives is not as helpful as powerful moderates.
She might enlist the support of Meg Whitman also and that makes a very powerful trifecta.
I have a tendency to mix Meg and Carley up as to who is running for what, but know that my desires for more conservative candidates aside, There is no conservative I know with the wherewithal to get elected in California.
