Don't hold your breath. Find anyone - ANYONE - who fits the classic conservative box that Rush draws and there's NWIH he/she gets elected there.

Tom McClintock came within a fraction of a percent of winning the controller's race last year and he fits that box nicely.

The other thing to remember about McClintock is that he and Issa would have fared much better had Arnold not joined. The momentum to rid the state of Doofus was already in full swing. And no dem joined until Arnold, too.

Ted Kulongoski hardly campaigned at all here last year, and would not subject himself to answering any hard direct questions, and was elected governor in an unexpectedly and surprisingly close race. But all he had to do, which is what he did in his very first radio ad, was to say the his Republican opponent "would take away a woman's right to choose".

You put up a Classic Conservative candidate and it's hardly a challenge to the dimwits. Why? Because it's easy to scare the minorities with labels-that-stick like Heartless, Rich, Pro-Big Business, Anti-Labor, Extremist Fundamentalist etc. etc. You want someone that can WIN, you've got to get a person who can make the opposition's causes his/her own - that's what GWB is so good at.
