CRA picks Romney
The conservative California Republican Assembly has a presidential favorite, and it's former Massassachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
On a second ballot vote Sunday at their Sacramento state convention, some 240 CRA delegates voted by a two-thirds margin to endorse Romney over former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson.
On the first ballot, candidates San Diego County Rep. Duncan Hunter and Texas congressman Ron Paul failed to meet the 10 percent support threshhold to reach the second ballot, said CRA president Mike Spence.
But Spence said that was far better than former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who mustered a grand total of six votes.

And this matters WHY???
Remember here in California the GOP starts and ends left of center. The DP is left of left and the Greens and P&Fers are left of off the chart. The CP and LP are on the right.
So what we have here is a buch of ineffective minority party nitwits voting for the MittWit. Big deal.
The who?
I live in California, and the people here listen to the California Republican Assembly like they do Michael Jackson for child-rearing advice.

CRA = idiots
The California Republican Party has been the most ineffective political organization in the country for the last 13 years. They constantly field horrible candidates -- people with no charisma, no strong conservative principles, and no ability to articulate why voters should choose them over their Democratic competitors.
For nearly a decade they have had no GOP candidates win state-wide offices, with the exception of Governor Ahnold, who has turned out to be the classic RINO. Democrats have nearly a 2/3rds majority in both houses of the state legislature. Ahnold signs much of their socialist legislation into law.
The CRA is a joke.
Anyone know
When did this first vote take place? I'm hoping it's before Nov 5th and people just plain didn't know about him. Still, not a good sign. Yet for all those people who tote those polls saying Giuliani is in first this is a clear indication that those polls don't hold much water. I mean, 6 total votes? HA!
Giuliani 6 votes...damn!

wake up call
This should serve as a wake-up call. We are enjoying alot of positive press right now, but the battle isnt over. We have an uphill struggle that will continue to be difficult. We need votes and delegates for the primaries.
