I've thought about this a few times, and I can think of only one reason that I want to see Meg win the governor's race, and that's I don't think that Carly can beat Boxer if Meg doesn't win..IOW..I think they both win, or both lose..and Carly could give the GOP control of the Senate.

Both are RINOs, realistically. If Meg wins, she will face a continual struggle with a Dem and union dominated state legislature. California is broke, and broken..the Dems made the mess, they own it..now let them "enjoy" the fruits of their labors..give Brown a term in Sacremento, with a Dem legislature, and you'll see a GOP sweep in 2014 in California..

If California lasts that long under Brown.

give Brown a term in Sacremento, with a Dem legislature, and you'll see a GOP sweep in 2014 in California

Possibly correct, but it sounds a great deal like the argument made to justify "let Obama have a term and we can then get a new Reagan". The problem is that there may be nothing left by then and in any case there is no guarantee that another Reagan exist. A lot of damage can be done in 4 years.

“and you’ll see a GOP sweep in 2014 in California”

Given the make up of the Califoria electorate I would dare bet against it. I think the best we could hope for is to get a RINO in there to slowly begin to turn California around. Even at that I would guess that the State will need to go “to the bottom” to get their attention and give the Conservatives a chance. That is where I may agree with you in that Brown would probably allow that “bottom” to come sooner with no way to blame Conservatives like they do the current Governor. (couldn’t spell his name awright :-))
