Here in Calif. we elect the closest to a Conservative.
There are more registered Democrats than REpublicnas here,

The major population areas in Calif. are Far Left to Liberal except San Diego which is somewhat half and half
(also haveing 3 Conservative Republican Reps and 2 Liberal Democrat Reps.
There are millions of Mexicans who are legal and can vote
in Calif.
There are milions of residents here from other states and countries who can vote.

California is not one of the several homogenous states many posters live in and think all states can do what theirs do.

There is little, if any, evidence that the People in CA (or IL. my state) are ready to vote for someone who would do this. Illinois is just as bankrupt.

Great Ideas.

Everything hinges on #1 though.

This is a pretty obvious hit piece by the LA Slimes. It seeks to create doubt and distrust among opposition to the Messiah. Good luck with that, cretins.

“We ain’t leaving town, we’re moving in, we’re nationwide !”

We’re movin’ on up,

On the West side,

We’ll finally get a piece

Of the pie.

Amen. Imagine a candidate who stands up and says that they have a plan to save the state using the only option left... U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Not “making it” in ONLY one state is an unqualified success - Tea Party rules...

Good for you! Fiorina is 100% preferable over Babs Boxer (so yesterday)

California is stuck on a sandbar and it'll take more than just conservatives getting out to get it un-stuck. If these ladies can convince some on the left to lend a hand, good. But this may come at a cost to their 'credentials'.

Every liberal I talk to bleats the same talking points fed to them by the media and White House. I counter that by telling them they should give Mark Levin a listen sometime (and give them the station and time to listen- Sacramento, 560AM, 3:00-6:00PM).

Sooner or later, the message that government can't solve our problems (Obama offering many recent examples) has to sink in. Pick a program or pick a state or a city (run by democrats) and observe the impending bankruptcy. Ideas have consequences, as do elections.

I don't know to what extent democrats in this state (CA) belong to the radical, hate America fringe, but suspect most are just lazy enough to go-along-to-get-along in a politically correct fashion and go-with-the-flow (like fish in a school) to avoid predation. Cowards, who'd rather not pick a fight if it threatens their mealticket.

Well, mealtickets are going to be on the cutting board as are a lot of other perks enjoyed by public employees/retirees very soon. What remains to be seen is if these women candidates can convince some seated in the Golden Cadillac and Golden Parachute aisles to vacate their spots in the interest of "others" to raise us off the sandbar. Let the 'communitarianism' begin. Service with Concern, baby. Do it for the Public Good, y'all. And, don't forget- doing it "for the children". :^)

California hasn’t produced a competent conservative since Ronald Reagan.

What about George Deukmejian? The former governor would have made a fine senator or even President had he had any national ambitions.
