The second is that no other laws count in politics. Wilson was electable – his opponents were not. The same applies to Schwarzenegger. Whitman is also electable and Poizner probably would lose. “Republicans” like the writer are simply indirectly supporting the Democrats. He probably would have oppossed Regan also because he raised taxes to balance the budget. I really wish more Republicans would get real and stop playing into the hands of the Dems. If they did, maybe Republicans would be a political force in California again.
