Campbell is not a RINO, he’s a DWAD (Democrat without a D).

Your ad hom attack shows the lack of coherent argument for pursuing the windmill tilting. Just over three weeks remain. The only one showing any measurable movement is Campbell, and he doesn’t have much.

How much money would it take to come from third place in three weeks in a state with all the media markets California has? Has DeVore shown any ability to raise it?

I thought YOU were the one who actually looked at the numbers. Can you in good conscience say you are in agreement with the “Big MO” proclamations made by Erick and Aaron (Josh is with the campaign, he’s expected to spin everything their way)? Is that the way you interpret these subgroups?

If so, please explain it in a way that makes sense, not that conforms with wishful thinking. But you don’t, you just attack the messenger who points out there is nothing there. You could see the truth if you wanted to, but you don’t want to. You can’t handle the truth! (always wanted to say that …).

Sorry to be the skunk at the garden party, but my conservative credentials can’t be questioned. At the age of 11, I stayed up until 4 am EDT listening to Barry Goldwater’s acceptance speech from the Cow Palace in Frisco in 1964. I rang doorbells for Nixon in 1968, and backed Reagan in 1976. I was one of the early evangelists of Kemp-Roth, which eventually became “the Reagan tax cut.” I was burning up local talk radio with conservative views when Limbaugh was still a DJ. So, I don’t give a brass farthing what some kid says about me.

This California stuff is all clear to anyone with average faculties and paying attention. Those who care about the facts will get it, those who don’t never would anyway. Some years back one of the most popular conservative sites was Polipundit, but the guy went off the deep end into the fringe waters. Started when he decided Bush was a RINO enemy. It’s still around, but pulling a fraction of the traffic it once did.

Of course, it couldn’t happen here.

If Fiorina were a strong conservative candidate she would be able to unify the conservative vote by convincing voters on the strengths of her ideas and her leadership abilities. When the party machine has tried to anoint a candidate who has not been able to build a strong coalition and solidify support on their own merits, we have often ended up with surprisingly weak candidates.

I used to like Campbell though he has shifted further to the left than I would prefer. Campbell is a RINO. He has been on our side of some issues and quite far to the left on others. Fiorina is a big question mark. We really have very little idea about what she really believes, or about what she will do if elected. I think it is quite likely that she is a RINO just like Campbell and just like Arnold.

It is not clear to me that Campbell has the killer instinct that is needed to win a tough fight in the general election. Carly is a wild card. What she has going for her is name recognition and the fact that Boxer has never had to run against a woman before. Nominating Carly is a gamble – she could turn out to be a tough challenger for Boxer or she could be a much weaker campaigner than expected. My vote will be for the best candidate in this primary, Chuck Devore, regardless of what the polls say.

Who are the ideological, (or non ideological if you will), purists in the RPCA and the NRSC?

Do you realize that you come across so badly that you’re probably making people vote DeVore right now just to shove it in your face?

She should pay somebody to cut the power to your house just to stop the bleeding.

The kindest word to use for this interpretation is “spin.”

Of course, using the RCP average of the last four statewide polls yields a different result – so let’s ignore that! And as others have pointed out, using this “logic” would mean supporting Campbell over both the others, so let’s ignore that, too!

Your grip on reality is beginning to resemble Kos’.

When you have to fantasize to make your case, perhaps it’s time to recognize you don’t have a sound argument.

Don’t worry – I’m sure Tom Campbell will send along a nice note thanking you for your help getting him the nomination.

I’d like to live in a state where someone like Chuck could win a statewide election of any consequence, but that’s not going to happen unless San Diego secedes from California (and if you’ve been to San Diego, you understand why I ain’t moving as long as I can pay the bills and live here).
