I do not think either of those folks are a Scazzawhatsa. If you have someone in mind. Put them out there. McClintock is happy in his congressional seat... Don’t think anyone else has the ID to run in that short a time.
Well, candidates aside, we do ourselves a disservice when we overthink things to that extent. Not voting for a conservative in CA-10, so Ahhnold can appoint a Lt Gov, is pretty crazy stuff. Why not just take these things one election at a time and let them play out on their own.?
