CA voters need to forget third parties and write ins in the race for Lt. Gov and Atty Gen. Newsom must be stopped now. “Gay marriage whether you like it or not” Newsom has presidential ambitions. If he wins this race, he will be Governor next and then CA will be exporting him to the national scene. Harris is the definition of a soft on crime liberal. Cooley will be a great Atty Gen.

If it takes a RINO to stop Newsom, then so be it. As a former Santa Maria resident, I’ve watched Maldonado over the years and he’s been a good advocate for his constituents. Yes, prompted by Arnold, he made a bad call on an important issue, but Newsom is a progressive who has and will continue to make bad calls on most every issue. Let’s not punish ourselves in an attempt to punish him.

Indeed. And not just in California. 3rd Party's just split the conservative, right of center vote. There are a few exceptions such as Tancredo in Colorado, but for the most part voting 3rd party is at best a wasted vote, at worst actually helps leftist get elected.

And we've REALLY got to get the word out to avoid these 3rd party Tea Party candidates. These are, in almost all cases, just Democrat plants being actively supported by liberals. They are not even hiding it anymore. And what few legitimate 3rd party Tea Party candidates are actually out there are mostly just cranks with little support from the real Tea Party.

The fact that Newsom is even in contention is a sad commentary - a man who simulates oral sex on a microphone during a press interview being elected to Lt. Governor of our largest state? Is California that insane?
