I really enjoy your MOE posts (even though I always want to give credit to Moe Lane when I see MOE in the text).

We need to really be genning up as much GOTV in California and Washington as we can. I think that people will be motivated but if they start to see a tide moving West, we can hope that it also kills off some end of day motivation for Dems and is enough to get the GOP excited and out ….

I was also encouraged that on Primary Day, John Colbert, the conservative candidate who ran unopposed in CD29 (to face Adam Schiff) racked up 20,000 votes against Schiff’s 28,000.

Sure Schiff had almost a 1/3 lead, but it’s only 8000-odd votes. We calculate that we only need 28 more unhappy voters in each precinct to cast their vote to elect Colbert. Looking at Schiff’s primary history, we see his electoral support as oddly un-energized (wonder why). But he has big union support and they often cary baseball bats in CA like the old ward bosses.

Colbert lives in the ‘home’ CD of PROCINCT and we are building an alliance among TEAPAC, the Colbert campaign, PROCINCT and the community to prove several things at once: that with the right automation tools, the right activists, and the right politics, we can win, and win big.

Jeeze Louise! Boxer looks pretty cartoonish, or is it just me. Sorry to be so juvenile, but I just can’t stand what’s happening.

to be rid of Boxer. She is a gangrenous lesion on the body politic.

Giving her the boot might be California’s first small step in setting its house in order. If she is reelected, though, they may as well tumble into the Pacific.

That is a *terrible* picture of Carly Fiorina! Can’t we find a better picture than *that*!?! ;p

Wish I could vote in California. My vote against Babs “No Ma’am” Boxer would be loudly accentuated.

Boxer is the overage poster child for term limits.

Go home, Ma’am.

Are you seeing any of the issues that the CA Senate race is going to turn on yet? I’m not hearing much in the local media other than some gratuitous slaps at Fiorina for her business background…mostly LA Times by the way.

I also wonder how the state budget fight over the summer will play in the election, any comments?

That is why the State’s economy will be the biggest issue.

They’re in a throw-the-bums out mood as much as anybody… the state has completely crashed and burned economically

And most of their bums are DEMS, lol

and that’s what will give her the edge in CA. She can’t win as a conservative, just somebody right of Boxer.

a vote for Carly and/or Meg is like voting for Arnold or Scott Brown.

Are you people CRAZY? There are many, many Republicans in CA who will vote for neither.

I am one of them.. Don’t give me any grief over it, this state is already completely bankrupt…it was caused by Dem policies that neither Carly or Meg are going to change (they have neither the conviction or fortitude)…LET THE DEMS OWN IT.

And thank Arnold (Republican) for Prop 14…that’s EXACTLY the kind of “conservative” representation we need more of in CA.

The problem there is that we, the People, go down the drain. Getting rid of Democrats would send a message.

The problem with California is that registered Democrats outnumber Republicans and everyone else 4 or 5 to 1.

Another problem with the governor’s race is that Whitman and Poizner have written all his campaign material.
