Listening to some Republicans and conservatives on the possibility of winning the California governorship lately has been dismaying. "We don't really want to win this race. California is in such a mess it can't be fixed and we will be tagged as failures if we try. Let the Democrats continue to stew in their mess." Or a variation on this theme: "Whoever wins will not have a mandate so he/she will not be able to govern, especially with the huge Democrat majorities in the California legislature."

I haven't heard any conservatives say any of the above defeatist comments. Does anybody know who Rush is talking about?

MANY people have called in saying this. Purportedly, many "Countryclub Conservatives" that Rush bumps into in his private life also say these kind of things...

David Horowitz, Hugh Hewitt, David Drier, to name 3.

I have heard an undercurrent of let Bustamante have it and I have to admit I agree if it means that in order to win we have to sell out on our primary principles of conservatism.

Perhaps he's peen perusing the recall threads here at FReeRepublic. It wouldn't surprise me

Does anybody know who Rush is talking about?

I haven't read the whole thread yet so others may have weighed in, I know Hannity was on the bandwagon before, as was Micheal Medved, they are both timidly staying back now. Hugh Hewitt is the biggest sycophant though, Arnold could shoot somebody and he would make an excuse for it.

There have been many conservatives on FR that fit exactly what the Truth Detector is referring to.
