California Primary 2010

8 comments

Quite late in the game. Nothing has me all riled up, so I haven’t been paying a ton of attention. I’m looking at Tom McClintock and Jon and Ken’s voter guides, and they agree on all the props.

As for the big ones, Governor and Senate, I’m not super excited about anyone. Poizner and Whitman have both run pretty crappy campaigns. In most respects, I think Whitman is fairly liberal, but the idea of her being successful in business has me semi-hopeful she can help out the state. Poizner seems semi-better, but lots of it seems like primary shuffling just to look more conservative than Whitman. Meh. Whitman has a better chance of beating Brown, so I might give her the nod just for that. Social issues continue to be a far less important part of California’s problems, so I’m thinking of going with the businesswoman.

For the Senate, it sounds like Devore might be more up my alley, but Fiorinia is winning by a TON, so vote for whoever you want, but it probably won’t matter. haha.

Have fun!

I’m voting a straight Republican ticket on the state positions, so this is pretty straightforward.

Governor: Arnold Schwarzenegger
Not my favorite, but I’ll take a liberal Arnold over crazy Phil anyday. Art Olivier intrigues me, but a vote for him only helps Angelides.

Lieutenant Governor: Tom McClintock
I’d rather he was governor right now than Arnold, but I’ll take him for Lt. Governor.

Secretary of State: Bruce McPherson

Controller: Tony Strickland

Treasurer: Claude Parish

Attorney General: Chuck Poochigian
Not only does he have a cool name, but everything I hear about Jerry Brown I can’t stand. I heard a Jerry Brown ad this afternoon about how "radical" Poochigian is…but it was funny because I agreed with everything he said about Poochigian. Thanks Jerry!

Insurance Commissioner: Steve Poizner
Anyone but Bustamante would make me happy.

Member of State Board of Equalization 4th District: Glen Forsch
