1972 was the last time a Republican was elected to the Senate from the entire State of Massachusetts.
Scott Brown ran as one of his main promises to vote against Obama's healthcare agenda and other radical liberal policies. I believe it is fair to say that Mr. Kennedy was just as much radical liberal as Nancy is so getting Brown to fill that seat is as close to night and day as someone could imagine. Sure, Brown did not have to run against Kennedy but at the same time Kennedy had pretty high approval numbers where Nancy does not.
Now, on the other hand California is bankrupt, has been bankrupt for many years. They are losing businesses and the "rich" in droves and they cannot tax their way out of this hole they have dug. The people are not completely blind to these facts, they can see what is happening. There are advertisements on their local television stations with other States inviting business owners to move to their States where they can keep most of their earned money instead of giving it to a corrupt California Government. The every day people also see these things and the daily reports of the State being broke.
I would think there is fertile soil to grow some real conservative ideas and canidates to clean out the waste, to steer the State back to fiscal responsibility and bring jobs back to the State by ending the policy of punnishing the job creators.
Easy?
No, but certainly possible.
Obama's plans promise much higher taxes for most Americans either directly or indirectly through higher costs of goods/services. If I was running for office in California I would push this fact and ask them all if they think they still have the room in their household budgets to pay higher taxes?
Then I would ask them to sit down and figure out what each Californian himself receives in California as a resident that other residents of other States do not get to make the much, much higher taxes worth it? Everyone gets roads and schools so those things do not count, so what is it that they get to justify the out of control taxes?
California gets just as many tourists as Florida but there are no State income taxes and no massive businesses taxes in Florida so why can't California do the same thing?

Now your back to talking about presidential races, yes, I agree that on the National scale, California does lean very heavy to the liberal canidate, but that has very little to do with local House races, and it is a specific House race I am speaking about.
Every poll conducted on expected voters in her district has shown a steady decline on her approval numbers. Her name is permenentely attached to most of the negative legislation that has been passed, and is hurting the people of California.
No, removing her will not be easy, but it is certainly possible especially if she forces through legislation like the healthcare bill when even the majority of California voters do not want it to be passed. I do know one thing for sure hugo, you can't beat her unless you try.
You know hugo, you seem to think certain people like Obama and Pelosi are invincible, are you star struck? I agree great challenge exists, but I do not believe they are invincible.

Name me one district that voted greater than 6-1 for a Presidential candidate where the member of the favored Presidential candidates party did not win the House race. It don't matter if most Californians hate Pelosi, she just has to win San Francisco. Call me a realist. How much money you want to put down on a Republican winning Nancy's seat?

And that is why you lose.
Most of life is about your frame of mind, if you have your mind made up that you can't win, then you will not win.
You know another kind of win?
To get a moderate in her seat first, get the radical out of the equasion by helping the moderate liberal beat her, then once people get a taste of the non-radical element, they might be more inclined to consider someone even more conservative.
But nothing is accomplished by sitting on your hands too intimidated to do anything.
Ooohhhh that sounded cultish. Are we a cult? If we are can I be the messiah? I have a huge spiral notebook to write down all our laws...and a special pen that has sparkles when you write!!We don't like you, we love you, but then again they do say love and hate are close partners and I have never been that bright, I guess I will settle for love until I know better

That site really does not do them justice, their main money maker is copy machines and service of those machines but they also have all the office supplies you could ever dream of having. I have found stuff with them I could not get anywhere else.
