It's too bad that there isn't a Conservative running for the Senate in California.
Oh wait!
There is!
But it isn't Boxer, Campbell or Fiorina.

"We need some people in there who are business-savvy,"

lol. If this guy thinks corporate CEOs are "business-savvy", then he must not know much about corporate CEOs. Corporations--the big ones-- are almost as bad as government. And their leaders are almost as useless as politicians.

GOP voters like Fiorina's chances to beat Boxer in November

Meanwhile conservatives ask, with the GOP ever put up a candidate that will fix the problem.

On the Field Poll, I find them to be the least credible of the lot. Local radion guy gave quite a run-down on their bent in their polls.

The question must stop being who has a better chance. It needs to be who is going to advance the cause. This is not a one election game. The GOP has been out of the game so long the other side just keeps racking up points. One election is not going to fix it.

Andrew Riley, a 59-year-old carpenter from Roseville, plans to vote for former businesswoman destroyer Carly Fiorina in the GOP Senate primary on Tuesday.

Sorry, that just needed fixin'.

Most of the California conservatives who voted for voted for Ronald Reagan and George Deukmajein have either moved away or died. This is a very different electorate than the state had 20 years ago.

All the polls have virtually the same results. Personally I would like to see DeVore win. Reality says there's no way that is going to happen. He would have to double his support in three days and that's not realistic.

Fiorina is a far better choice than Campbell or Boxer.

I like Campbell, then DeVore, and finally Fiorina. But this is a strange contest. My friends and associates are leaning towards Fiorina, only because in their minds she has the best chance of defeating Boxer. Boxer is such a wretched, despicable creature that many will vote for the candidate who can beat her. I've asked several of these people if the Republican Primary was the general election and they were voting for only the Republican Candidates and Boxer was out of the picture (a pleasant thought) it would be neck and neck between Campbell and DeVore. Those voting for Fiorina think that women are much more likely to vote for a woman against Boxer than a man and that seems to be Fiorina’s strongest appeal, her chance of beating Boxer. So hated is Boxer...

From the two graphs, it seems many of DeVore’s voters believe Fiorina’s chance is better than his in the general election.

I’m still going to vote for DeVore in the Primary. He’s the most conservative candidate of the 3. If Fiorina wins the primary without my vote, I’ll vote for her in the general but I’m not going to vote for the “lesser of 3 evils” in the primary.

Is the Sacramento Bee field poll something that we should really be paying much attention to??

In the General Election won’t the strong support by Palin hurt Fiona somewhat?
