??? Because if they’d run as conservatives they would have won? Really? Tell it to the unions.
I wouldn’t say that they need to be 100% down-the-line uberconservative, but the problem with Whitman and Fiorina is that they just didn’t stand for anything. Whitman in particular. She spent $160M and didn’t take a strong stand on a single issue. Except maybe being pro-abortion. It begs the question: why is she running for this job?
You also have the problem that a wishy-washy Republican is governor and an AWFUL one. More of the same isn’t going to help anything. Besides, with the ballot measures, California is ungovernable anyway. My advice is to move before neighboring states build walls to keep you in.
As for the others, it looks like there were a lot of shenanigans with the Reid/Angle race. Frank won because of Gerrymandering. That district is designed to be unwinnable for a Republican and it did its job last night.
don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to then
