I'm going to say, Do the Right ...Good question. I'm going to say, Do the Right Thing. I'm more attracted to John Chiang and Delaine Eastin. There's little question in my mind that CA's future lies in reigniting our education system. It's going to take Jerry Brown level intelligence and a lot of cooperation with Washington to get us back to a good place. I'm not sure Newsom has a clue; Villaraigosa probably does and may have a shot at Newsom in the General. If he does though, it will be by doing what you're saying. Coalescing the vote of folks who are nervous about Newsom is a good strategy. That makes me very nervous.JT&CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143860522603309270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-34166379927762633012018-05-08T06:46:32.610-07:002018-05-08T06:46:32.610-07:00I read that 1 million more people are leaving Cali...I read that 1 million more people are leaving California than moving there (hope they aren't heading for Arizona or Oregon lol). If I was in California though, I think I'd be among them. Being more conservative than liberal these days (I still consider myself a moderate), I think I'd head for Montana as a destination (tempting to me anyway and Missoula and Bozeman are pretty liberal cities). <br /><br />In '16, though I did vote for Hillary, I was tempted not to vote. I'd have the same problem if I was in CA right now; so I sympathize with your choices. It'll be interesting to see if West Virginians buy into the racism of Blankenship and throw that election for sure to Manchin. Sounds like it could end up another Alabama. I find it hard to believe any state would support a Blankenship but many did Moore and I didn't understand that either.
