So, did someone screw up, or is the CA GOP simply incompetent?

I don’t think it is because the GOP is incompetent. Cooley is a vastly more competent DA than the radical left Kamala Harris.

Whites now make up 41% of the population

Republicans make up 30% of the registered voters.

I think a lot of the answers lie in these numbers.

The white middle class has basically packed it bags and left the state, as Democrat supporting demographic groups have moved in. I live in LA. I know. All these mindless drones care about is having the “D” after your name inside the polling booth.

It's not incompetent, it's just not a political party. The Cal GOP is more like a country club for liberal old-money insiders. No conservatives need apply.

The A.G. race is one of those under the radar races, so not many people knew anything about Cooley or Harris.

I heard Cooley advertised in L.A., but not much elsewhere. Didn't see any adds for him in the S.F. media market.

I don't know it would have mattered. Once Whitman's housekeeper issue came out, she was toast and I believe, drug every other Republican down with her.

Yes.
