Yeah, these D vs. D races aren't politically healthy.  No state should have one-party rule.  I hope to live to see the day where CA votes for a Republican for President and has a GOP state trifecta, and TX elects a Democrat for President and has a Dem state trifecta.

The GOP nominated a pro choice, pro SSM, pro environment candidate in 2014 (a favorable year) and they still got walloped. I'm not a big fan of a one Party state rule either but the Republican Party just doesn't resonate here.

To be fair, he was against Jerry Brown. Only Dennis Daugaard, Matt Mead, and Bill Haslam were more popular.

Still, it's California. I kind of just accept that most people aren't voting for someone with radically different views.

True, but it could've been a Boxer v. Fiorina style loss instead if anyone else were running.

A Villarigosa-Newsom primary would genuinely make me root for Newsom, and I can't stand Newsom.

Nope, Newsom wasn't the answer in '03, he's not the answer now, even in this case.

Hard to believe 40 or so years ago California was the headquarters of the conservative movement.

If I lived in California I'd probably vote for the D with the best chance of making the runoff against Newsom, to suppress R turnout for Assembly and House races.

SoCal anyway.

Dixie North and the Urban Bay Area had none of that sh*& (Marin and the Silicon Valley took time to get with the program).
