I have seen what you have seen so far from this guy. He is Bill Clinton with Muscles. I have really come to the conclusion that the party is what is important not any beliefs. With Mike Bloomberg and the Christie Whitman’s on my coast I have seen what has happened and can happen to the rest of the US with this "Win at all costs" philosophy.
In 20 years there will be a few left that remember what a conservative ever was. Any everyone else will think they were NAzi's. After you dilute the Republicans with leftists you will have two parties to support that have no identity but their mascots. It is happening right now.
Now none of this should matter if you had no personal convictions of your own. Then pulling the name with _R_ next to it will do just fine. You win. Yippee!!
I would feel different maybe if it was an election I could vote in ---- but I'm in another state so really you could say I have no dog in this fight. I am not sure California can be saved, it still will draw the bulk of third world immigration. I think it might take more than a governor at this point ---whoever cuts programs will bring on riots.
