Idk, Newsom is so unpopular that people may just vote for Caitlyn Jenner for no other reason than to get Newsom out...
But you're right, the campaign has potential to get real savage...grab the popcorn

@Tom81 Note that the SJW's are already piling on because Jenner said guys should not be allowed to compete in girls' sports. OOh, hit a raw nerve there. You go girl!
What Jenner says will be hidden and lied about no less than any DJTrump said. The SJW's and other commies will never let up. But, out here in Ca-land it is going to amusing to see how much effort will be expended (further) shutting down free speech of someone who ought to have at least one of the boxes checked on THEIR side. This will add evidence to the fact that you are not allowed ANY free speech, nada. You must agree on all points, or you will be attacked by everyone. That is the way things have been out here in Ca-land for years, and that is how it will become everywhere else.

@Tom81 agree Newsom is wildly unpopular which is why he is in the boat he's in...however, is this the best the opposition can offer up to oppose a wildly unpopular damaged democrat in a super democrat state, a certifiable nut job who can't decide what gender he is...
My guess, it is going to result in a win for Newsom because the ticket will be split between an Olympian gone prada, a San Fran Socialist who can't run a toy electric train, and some wacko write in candidates. Not unless someone else emerges that can gel the populace in their favor and then get the votes.

@Genghis The Ca GOP has been dead out here for years. That is why I left and refuse to contribute. No matter what the topic they refuse to fight. If they tried real hard the best they could come up with and would be willing to try is a Romney clone. However, the recall will provide a chance to cover the issues that have irreparably ruined this state. Issues that are never, ever mentioned unless someone like DJTrump brought them up. E.g., the wildfires were only because of forest mismanagement. Prior to Moobeam's admin forests were regularly cleared of brush, or fires (small, watched) were allowed to run their course like they had done for 10's of thousands of years. But, the treehuggers interfered and the Dem's wanted their vote. That is just one issue. Others: lack of baseload power, Tech immunity, free speech, gun suppression, yada, yada. Imagine all the things you like about America -- they died here first. We need one last Braveheart-like cry. It won't work, but it is needed.

@bobbo666 I hear you brother, and I pray for you, I loved Cali the first time I saw it...but I wouldn't live there if you paid me, and you'd have to pay me a lot just to live there.
Very sad how they have destroyed such a beautiful place!
