"Everyone Knows’ — Why John Cox Can Win Governor of California

It’s happened else where, as blue states turn to Republicans to get their fiscal mess in order.

Everyone “knows” that a Republican like John Cox can’t be elected Governor in California because the state is just too blue, right?   Well, the people of Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, or Maine might not know that. Each of those states elected a Republican governor even though they are as blue, or even bluer, than California.  Conventional wisdom was wrong in these other states for the same reason it is wrong in California. Voters there didn’t elect a Republican politician, they elected an outside businessman who happened to be a Republican.

That’s just what John Cox is. He’s not a politician, he’s a successful businessman who has personally created hundreds of jobs and will right California’s fiscal ship, starting with repealing the gas tax that is killing the state’s middle class. And Cox will force the left-wing legislature to curb profligate spending........................Newsom is dodging needed public debates with John Cox..............Newsom could literally send the state over the fiscal cliff...........All the ingredients are in place for California to shock the nation come November, as other blue states have recently done, by electing a Republican businessman who will attack problems with genuine, potent solutions........To Read More.....

My Take - This kind of shakeup happens, but it's not going to happen in California, if for no other reason is voter fraud.  It will be massive if it even looks close.  Furthermore, no governor can fix a state when they have to deal with a legislature that operates with complete and utter economic insanity.  Take a look at the states mentioned in the article that elected Republican governors to see how well they fared.   

I hope this good man isn't elected because if he is his life will become a nightmare.  Let California go straight down the tubes.  There's nothing like a good disaster to get everyone's head on right.  And if there's a state that needs a disaster - it's California - they've earned it.
