Yeah Jerry Brown will most likely be our new governor. Not sure if the Republicans are allowing independents in their primary but if they do I will most likely vote for Campbell. That would make for a good race.

If Republicans nominate Campbell, I'll be impressed.

I highly doubt it will happen. Socal will turn out for Whitman. Poizner is probably too liberal for them also.

Whitman and Poizner currently have mini-scandals: Whitman has a lot of gaps in her voting history, and Poizner wrote a check to Al Gore's recount effort.  It's quite possible that the pro-choice, pro-gay marriage Campbell could win the CA GOP primary.

He's the best bet your party has at retaining the governorship.

     Quite true, though it will still be an effort in vain against Jerry Brown.

[Psychic Octopus]

I'd prefer Brown to Newsom.

Brown might be the Governor
