Native Californian, lived here 51 years.

In my youth, I was a democrat, voted Carter in 1976.

Well ole Jimmy made me a Republican, voted GOP since 1980.

I voted the straight Republican ticket in 2002, so I voted for Simon, & McClintock.

THEY BOTH LOST!

I've watched the demographics of the state change for the past 30 years,

and the electorate that put Reagan in the Governors office no longer exists.

As the years went by, I came to realize that it's better to live in reality.

The reality of California as of August 2003 is Simon & McClintock will not win.

The worst Republican is better than the best Democrat. Third parties can never win statewide, at best (or worst) they can only be spoilers.


In California, I watched in 1992 how Mullholland smeared Hertshoson(sp?) with a ridiculous lie, & caused enough conservative stay home to elect Boxer. In 1998, Matt Fong reached out to Gays, & enough conservatives thought that he was no good because of that, & they stayed home, reelecting Boxer. In 2000, Feinstein was reelected because her opponent, Tom Campbell, favored letting a woman decide if she wanted to have an abortion, & enough conservatives thought he was no good because of that, & stayed home. In 2002 Conservatives got their man as a candidate for governor, Bill Simon, ( I voted for him in the primary, & the general election ) but he couldn't pull enough non conservatives, & he lost. So now it's 2003, & we have a chance to turn things around. So I'll ask all conservatives, if it's a week before the election, & McClintok and or Simon haven't closed the gap with Arnold, will you stand with us, so that we may WIN! And put and end to Davis reign of terriers! ( mispelling deliberate)
