The GOP Establishment is wringing their hands over the fact that (horror!) a Tea Party guy WILL beat their hand-picked candidate that voted for Obama in 2008!

Tim Donnelly for Governor!

[MeshugeMikey]

Im ready to vote for this guy!

[gwgn02]

Go Donnelly!

[Luke21]

“arch-conservative” Real winner of a word there.

WIth a republican GOVERNOR....California would then become RIPE....for a RETURN to SANITY?

its the COASTALS....that despise AMERICA..

that movement to divide the state would of necessity need to have most of the COASTAL AREAS become One State leaving the rest of the state in the hands of ADULTS!!

I’m pretty sure that California is going to have to go the way of Detroit before anyone will start ask themselves how the state of California ended up ruined and before they will ever think of electing someone with an R after their name.

And Arnold doesn’t count...he is a hollyweirdo and about as right as a new england republican, which makes him a democrat.

God forbid he actually opposes illegal immigration. /s

I am voting for Donnelly in our primary a couple of weeks from now.

But that said the headline of this article is silly-—”Republicans worry over California governor’s race” is silly. Of course we have no chance against Gov. Moonbeam in deep blue one-party CA.

This is a silly as a headline saying, “Democrats worry over Texas governor’s race.” IMHO.

Karl Rove wants his moderate! its not fair! waaah!

[Fiji Hill]

The GOPe is on the warpath against Donnelly. Today's Santa Ana Register features an op-ed piece trashing him. And Hugh Hewitt has taken to bashing him on his radio talk show.

ComPost Alert!

And as if we didn't know it, the Post is seemingly on the GOPe and RNC's side in this.  Who could have seen that coming?

Comrad Karl, is that you?

The state’s economy is rebounding

it is?

[US_MilitaryRules]

Only in the 1%ers neighborhoods.

[Ted Grant]

If you don’t expect to win anyway, why do they worry?

[Regulator]

The state’s economy is rebounding, revenues are surpassing expectations

Uh...the first part is a bit true in the Santa Clara valley, and the second part is an outright lie

“arch-conservative” Real winner of a word there.

When you see that code word in an article you automatically know how the author votes. Has the WA Post ever called anyone an "arch-liberal?"

Brown is a lock. The Republican MIGHT get 40% of the Vote in the General, no matter who the Candidate is. The “R” label alone will insure that, whether they are GOPe or a Tea Party Conservative.

Yesterday Brown was out blaming “Globull Warming” for the recent Wildfires instead of blaming the actual cause, Arsonists.

The Idiots here gulp down that Globull Warming stuff by the gallon, and Brown shows up with a truck load of it.

Anyone have a good voters guide for SoCal area? Thanks

“If you don’t expect to win anyway, why do they worry?”

They want the “right person” to lose to Brown.

Ronald Reagan: “Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people”.

GOPe: “It’s obvious of course. Pale pastels all the way to victory!”
