Yes, because the right needs another intellectually stifled individual......

I'm starting to feel bad for them.

This is what the Grand Old Party has come to. My father is spinning in his grave.

Well the primary of course - I am not going to make decisions about the general election until the ballot is set.

What do my posts have to do with my choice of Orly Taitz as one of the U.S. Senators from California? I have stated my voting record concerning her exactly once - before this thread - when I reported that I voted for her for Secretary of State of California in the previous primary. I highly doubt that you read that post - or even remember it.

If Carly Fiorina or Darrell Issa - or someone with name recognition and common sense - another good one would be Tom McClintock - put their name in the hat - I would definitely switch my vote.

Orly isn't ideal - but she is not Diane Feinstein and she is a Republican - that is enough - for now.

Name recognition. She is a very large minnow in a school of guppies.

Because she has name recognition - also fundraising capability.

The rest are going up against Dianne Feinstein - unless you are a big name - it is difficult for anyone to knock off a U.S. Senator in California.

Well she has been in the news in the past - people will remember that.

The others have never been - unless it was in some small town local birdcage liner rag.

Anyways - I will look at the other candidates - maybe I will vote for one of them on principle - but realistically - if Issa, Fiorina, or McClintock don't jump in - then Orly Taitz is our best (read long) shot.

Anyone but Dianne Feinstein.
