I saw someone on another thread this week saying they would rather vote for Tom Campbell the liberal over an unknown like Carly (who IMHO is probably the only one who could beat Boxer)... and someone else saying they prefer Jerry Brown over Whitman (and i'm not a fan of Whitman, but please... I remember the Governor called Jerry Brown -- actually both of them, his father was Governor when I moved to Sacramento as a child with my grandparents)... I just posted on another thread, people want to see what can be accomplished when you elect Republicans across the board -- look at Arizona... those same bills were going to Nappy and were regularly vetoed, Jan is signing them.... you can't fix what is broke if you keep electing democrats so that they are in charge, we need the numbers in DC to get rid of Pelosi and Reid, and some in that number are going to be imperfect.... and to get rid of them we need good candidates with a spine willing to challenge them in primaries..
I see there is speculation Jason Chavetez will challenge Hatch in 2012, that is great news, IMHO... both AZ and Utah are doing house cleaning, we need a lot more of that around the country, but we cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater or allow ourselves to be taken in by DNC trolls purposely baiting the waters here.
I saw that post about voting for Campbell too! I was amazed.
CA is a mess and other than you and scant few others, people from out of state really don’t realize that all we can regularly accomplish is to elect conservative Republicans in congressional districts, but not statewide, which is not to say we will ever stop trying.
The last US Senator CA elected was pro-abortion Pete Wilson in ‘82 and again in ‘88. The democrats have held both seats ever since.
Orin Hatch needs to go. ALL fossil incumbents need to reite gracefully or be retired.
