#1 Senator Carly Fiorina. Yeah.

#2 Tom Campbell's ahead of Carly. She's hoping that a few 100,000 current and former HP employees don't talk to the media.

My money's on Tom.

#3 Campbell's Win/Loss record is only slightly better than the St Louis Rams. He obviously doesn't think he can beat Governor Moonbeam so he switched races.

Boxer has traditionally beat the men running against her with a solid women's vote. Carly could cancel that edge. The question is HP Baggage?

#4 Carly or whomever runs against Queen Boxer merely has to run this ad:

#5 Most of the anger in California is aimed at the RINO governor, not the democratic legislature. The democrats here need to be more concerned about 2012 than 2010.

#6 I wish I could share your optimism. I'd love to see Boxer beaten but I think it would be a huge mistake to underestimate her. California ain't Massachusetts and Boxer ain't Coakley. Boxer is an entrenched incumbent. You can bet she'll have an ample war chest and she'll be a lot better at using it than Coakley was with hers. California's famous unions will rally to her support, not to mention the illegals who nobody seems to want to mention. It'll be a general election, not a special election, so it'll be easier to get the lazy, feeble minded Democrats out to vote. Whoever wins the Republican primary is gonna have a very tough fight on their hands.

I didn't follow the Massachusetts election very closely but from what I heard about Brown and his truck, he covered a lot of territory in a very energetic manner. That would be a lot easier and cheaper in a small state like Massachusetts than in California. If the distance didn't get you the traffic would. An airplane would be the best bet here.

Chuck DeVore seems a lot less like a RINO and a lot more likely to tell it like it is than either Fiorina or Campbell. But in this state money is extremely important and that probably means DeVore doesn't stand a chance.

#7 Sadly, with the massive demographic change in Hispanifornia, Reagan couldn't get elected. A RINO is the only hope. Trying to elect a conservative is suicide.

As of 2008, white population 42.3% and sinking.

#8 As of 2008, white population 42.3% and sinking.

For a look into the future, check out the white demographics and economy of Zim and SA. If you are still unconvinced, examine the crime statistics and rural white genocide.

#9 It'll be a general election, not a special election, so it'll be easier to get the lazy, feeble minded Democrats out to vote.

Maybe that's the answer. More special elections. Now I wonder, how could we go about that...
