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.

and I voted for Pete Wilson both times. You are absolutely correct, though, CA will never elect a hard core conservative in a state-wide election, look where McClintock had to go just to (barely) win a congressional seat.
