Certainly not the Senate, since we all have only 2. Don't forget that if it wasn't for Arrinna Huffington having illegal immigrants work at her house revealed in the week of the election, Feinstein's razor sharp win (democrates would have screamed it was stolen, but we have class) over her then hetro husband would have been a sizeable defeat. Boxer also won by the most slim or margins in her last election, and is considered more than likely to lose in '04.
Tony Strickland, who is a good friend of Tom's and served in his staff if I remember correct, has already announced his candidacy.
As for the Gov's mansion, take a look at the modern political landscape. We've had 2 Democratic Govs since the mid 1960s. Jerry Brown, the son of a former Democrate from another age, who left office in scandal and disgrace, and Gray Davis, who is going to be recalled from office less than 12 months after his second term. All the others had an 'R', including unabashed conservative Ronald Reagan, who won during the 1960s and the Berkeley idiocy.
We aren't perfect, but we are a work in progress, if my fellow CA's had some optimism and confidence in the superiority of their ideas. CA has a long history of low turnout when a conservative isn't on the ballot.
