"In California, the special interests include Indian tribes and labor unions and state employees and trial lawyers. And they own Gray Davis and state government."
Those words are worth repeating because they so eloquently describe who is our enemy [at least, in California].
And it's important to know your enemy. It makes little sense to go searching for a political champion who can't best your enemies, after all.
So what politician can defeat the indian gaming lobby, the labor unions, the state employee PACs, and the trial lawyers?
And while consiedring that question, keep in mind that far too many people on FR simply look for the candidate that most touts their own "conservative" philosophy, as if politics was a debating match between competing ideologies, rather than a bar room brawl of a political war between opposing interests.

The answer is politician who addresses the concerns of of the broad middle of the California electorate where they tilt to the right.
One thing's for sure, those concerns aren't "the indian gaming lobby, the labor unions, the state employee PACs, and the trial lawyers." Theyre supporting the enemy, but they're blips on the radar with the electorate.
Taxes. Crime. Illegals. Those are the issues where the Democrats can't stand up against the Republican message, when Republicans here find the gumption to make the cases, and there are strings of victories in state referenda to bear that out.
