Actually, history is against you. Such has not been the case in the past. For instance, IF one considers Pataki of the large state of New York a RINO, then his election in 1994 should have had serious consequences across the nation--did not happen.
Guiliani as mayor of New York City should also have had baaad consequences nationwide--did not happen.
Look back in history. Conservatism as we know it was essentially unknown on the political radar through the 1970s and the 1980s. It wasn't until 1994 that it really had any national impact, and it has become one of the main forces shaping politics and our society through the last decade. Many ideas that were scorned in 1990 are considered mainstream today.
Frankly, I think you are giving WAY too much negative power and influence to the election of what you would consider a non-conservative Republican as governor of California.
There ain't no history to back up your statement.
