I don't think it's really a huge blow, nor a suprise. The party establishments have their official candidates anyway in a lot of races, this just makes it official and more open.

The blow delivered by the establishment was given a long time ago.

I agree. In the last election for Governor of California there were candidates who "dropped out for the good of the Party." And now, a year later, the "winner" of that election is in the process of being recalled.

Why do something "for the good of the Party" when it is bad for the State of California?

This election is a wake-up call to change California. Tom is a man of his word, a rare quality for politicians these days.

Nothing in California is going to change with the dems or the RINOS in charge. Stay the course Tom!
