Good grief! Could it really come down to Davis and Riordan in California?
How pathetic is that?

Davis vs. Riordan, LoL!
That would have to produce the lowest election day turnout percentage in history. And whichever one of these mice gets elected, the socialist scumocrats win.

I would say the California GOP better pump up Simon real fast.

You know, I wonder why Davis would put out this radio ad now? Why would Davis want to portray Riordan as the frontrunner, and put his name out there for free like this? Unless he wants Riordan as his opponent and is using these ads to give him a push....

Riordan was a popular mayor. He defined himself, politically, as a "diversity Republican." His words.

Riordan is about as far to the right as California is prepared to elect. It's no longer Reagan Country.

I hope it doesn't come down to Davis and Riordan. I can't stand to even entertain that thought. My guess is LA will go to Riordan, not sure what the Bay area will do, and Simon and Jones will share the rest of the state. Will it be enough to counter the LA effect? I don't know, but it's sad and frustrating for the rest of us when LA and San Francisco basically decide our elections for us, primary or general.

UGH!

Two CINO's fighting over who is the most pro-abort.

I wish my church had the guts to kick their sorry asses OUT!

In the primary, the Decline to state's & RINOs will vote for Riordan, the dems for Grayout. The pubbies will split between Jones and Simon, giving Riordan the GOP nomination. In the general, it will probably be between Davis and Riordan, with the pubbies going 3rd party or staying home, giving Grayout a second term. I think I'm gonna move out of CA! :-(

I don't know, it's hard to tell with Riordan's history of sleeping with the enemy. I think they both believe it's a foregone conclusion that he will be the Republican candidate. From watching the debate, Riordan seemed like all he had to do was show up and convince us he's not what we think he is. Maybe he knows he has enough votes in LA to win it and feels he doesn't have to try hard. Pray hard for California everyone. Please.

When politicians try to outbid each other on the numbers of babies they'll kill, we have truly entered the Twilight Zone.

Oooohh!! Stay and fight Auntie! It's our state, we will get it back someday, we will, we will, we will!! (Clicking my red shoes together 3 times:) So Davis and Riordan both call themselves Catholics? Didn't know Riordan claimed that. Aaahh, the good old days of excommunication........

LOL !!! "...as far to the right", hahaha...! It's really that utterly hopeless?
Ah well, maybe it's time for any decent humans still left in that state to FLEE!
Let the parasites devour each other.

California should split into three or four states so that real Americans can be represented as well as the liberals.

In the scenario you describe, it would be better for Gray to win than Riordan. Maybe not for California, but for the rest of the nation. It would set a terribly bad precedent if it is shown that a scumbag RINO like Riordan can ever prevail in a statewide election, particularly in a big state like California. Simon (hopefully!) or Gray. But not Riordan under any circumstance.

Many are fleeing -- to Seattle, and Las Vegas, and Arizona ...

I'd flee, but finances keep me here. It's tough to uproot, leave friends & acquintances, and find new work and housing in a distant land amid strangers. Not impossible, but not easy.

Seriously, this has been considered. I recall several years back there was a movement to divide the state in two. The problem is, one half still gets LA, the other half the Bay Area. Can't win.

Pundits have said that if Gray wins, he'd be a strong candidate for Democratic Presidental nomiation in 2004. (1) He brings 54 electoral votes to the table, and (2) He's a Vietnam combat veteran (unlike Bush), so Gray can't easily be called a miltary weakling.

Of course, it's all contingent on him winning -- and winning big -- re-election in 2002.

Dickie Pooh is not just pro-abort, he's also pro illegal alien and wants to give them a gravy train of government benefits. Check out the L.A Slimes Jan. 26 California section for details of that stand. You simply won't believe your own eyes. The DIABLA is to the LEFT of Gray "Red" Davis on just about any issue you can name and the GOP bigwigs think he can beat Davis in November??? Suuure and and Republicans can win the Bay Area here hands down too.

There is no good solution to our problem in CA. If Grayout wins big here, as others have said, he is a prime candidate for the Dims presidential nod.
