I’m pulling for DeVore, of course, but I think Fiorina would still be a big trade-up from Boxer.

Campbell would not. Unlike many moderate Republicans, he doesn’t have any good things going for him. He’s worse than a lot of Dems when it comes to terrorism and the Middle East.

Sorry, but I think it has to be Campbell or Fiorina for the Republican entry into the Senate race.

I live in the La-La-Liberal Bay Area, home of the loony left. I am a staunch conservative on many, many issues, and a respectable conservative on the remaining ones. So I hope my credentials aren’t questioned here.

I will vote for whichever Republican comes out of the primary, since Barbara Boxer is intolerable. Although moderate Republicans are big-taxing, big-spending types, they are likely to be far better on the whole than crazy Babs.

However, Chuck DeVore is not electible in a statwide race. Simply put, a staunch conservative can’t beat a liberal, especially one like Boxer with full support of Dem+Union machines. There, I said it. I wish him well, but if we want to ever see Senator (R-CA) in our lifetimes, it has to be from a moderate. So the choice goes to Campbell vs Fiorina. I’m not a fan of Fiorina due to her poor management at HP. But right now I simply don’t know if Campbelll is any worse than Fiorinia.

So, I am considering either Campbell or Fiorina, and I and I hope it isn’t a bloody primary. It’s a matter of “Least Worst” among Campbell, Fiorina, and Boxer.

Obviously, what the Left is seeking is validation of the principle of Rule of Man under which the opinion of a Person in Authority takes precedence over some antiquated law passed by a bunch of dead white guys.

Under their system, black letter law (read and apply the law as written and intended) is replaced by the opinion of lawyers and judges who decide based on their personal views, foreign laws, concepts of social justice, and, or course, empathic feelings.

We can all be certain that a “wise Latina” would have ignored the written law, and rendered an opinion those from the Left would consider “wiser”.

While GT350 thinks Devore wouldn’t stand a chance in the general, and that may be true in a normal election year, this is no normal election year. Californians are looking at a state in fiscal collapse and a nation that’s fiscally only a few steps behind it. If Chuck focuses laser-like on his fiscal bona-fides and that could be enough to bring him across the finish-line first.

California is actually largely red if you look at any post-election map. It’s just that you have those deep blue population centers around San Fran and L.A.. LA is more focused around immigration issues and San Fran around abortion and gay “rights”.

He could focus on states’ rights to re-frame the abortion, gay rights and immigration issues – if proposes that they should be dealt with on the state-level because they are beyond the scope of the national government then it could help him win because he would basically be saying that he believes that the Senate (the job he’s running for) should keep it’s mitts off those hot-button issues. Clearly this is the case for abortion and gay rights. Immigration is less so because it relates to national security, but the problem there is that California and Arizona have both been frustrated by court rulings that have basically said that they cannot independently take action against illegal immigration because it is a matter of national, not state, borders and the federal laws effectively preempt state laws on the issue. Rather, both state and federal borders are implicated and both should have concurrent authority to act against an illegal intrusion thereon.

Dems really have no reason to go to the polls. Conservatives should be more than motivated and you can only blame yourself if you don’t vote. The democrats have offered nothing but empty promises on how to fix the budget and other promises in California. They pledge to keep up the CARB Global Warming lunacy and drive out what remaining industry there is here. These are the cold hard facts of electing left-wingers who mean well, but are clueless on forming good policy and are beholden to too many special interests with conflicting goals.

I’d like to insert my shameless plug for my anti-demon sheep store here http://www.zazzle.com/breeanneh
All proceeds to benefit the eradication of the demon sheep. Thank you : )

…the @Demonsheep will not be trifled with.

If he’s not sympathetic to terrorists that’s of course good. But the line should be clear and crisp.Much in the news recently on Campbell accepting donation from Sami Al Arian various sources including politico. There is also a report he wrote a letter trying to prevent deportation of Al Arian’s brother in law a few years ago. Apparently also a bad terrorist the US finally did deport. If these things are true he probably should either become a democrat or seek other employment.
