I've lived in CA for 53 years and voting here has become defeating evil instead of championing conservativism at the ballot box. Whitman is a business woman...Brown is a lifetime loony liberal political hack. That is the choice here. People need to sober up from their conservative idealism and accept that fact.
You are fighting the good fight. Freepers like Doughty One are killing us. They refuse to vote for Republicans who are not conservatives, and end up handing us radical communists. With friends like that, who needs Socialists?
