Today a California Field Poll came out giving some encouragement that California will not be easy for Hillary Clinton and the Dems in the Presidential election. California has been considered practically a lock for the Blue State Lovers, but things are becoming fluid. Remember, this is the state of the Governator, who has become very popular again in his own right.
So let's do a little surmising, shall we? Let's say that the GOP nominee is Rudy. I know, I know, it's a bit premature. But just for the heck of it, let's put Rudy at the top of the ticket. That puts NY in play. It gives the GOP a real good shot at Florida. Rudy should run a lot better than a leftist candidate such as Clinton in the deep South. Put Texas in the GOP column.
And now, perhaps, California?? Wow!! And then there are the not-so-widely discussed issues, the ones whipsered between office cubicles or in hushed tones over a lunch counter. The "Woman" factor. I know, we've been hearing how woman are going to flock to the polls to cast their votes for Hillary. That's the Dem party line, but it's not anchored to reality. Here is what is more likely to happen. GOP woman vote enmass against Hillary. These are thinking woman, woman who are strong, and in no way beholden to a quasi-socialist form of government. They are smart and they see exactly the kind of creature they are dealing with in Hillary. In fact, I think woman can size her up much better than men. Follow this up with the man who says he has no problem voting for a woman, then goes in and pulls the lever for Rudy because he has a gender bias. Or the independent who is inclinded to vote Dem, but sits this one out because he/she can't bring themselves to vote for someone with an R in front of their name, but will have nothing to do with the one of the most power-hungry, corrupt politicians of the last one-hundred years.
And, of course, if the Dem primaries get really rough and tumble, Clinton could have more battle scars than a glass cutter's hands with no gloves.
Chin up. Things are going our way!!
