Why Are Alabama-Style Republicans Running for a Senate Seat in California?

In terms of its politics, California has much in common with the other populous states; it’s a blend of well educated and affluent people who live close to the major cities who tend to vote Democrat, and the folks in the rural regions who are largely Republicans.

Yet where these balance themselves out in swing states, California is dominated by things like communications and information technology, entertainment, life sciences, and fantastically large university systems, that combine to make it impossible for conservative Republicans to succeed.

That’s why it’s so strange to see people running for public office here who have nothing to say other to assert their conservative values.

Here’s how Chuck Smith promotes himself.  Sorry.  Won’t work.  Best take it to Alabama.
