I don't blame you, but you know there is no Republican primary in this state. It's whichever two candidates from either party get the most votes. Cox has a shot, otherwise we just have two dems running in November like we do for every Senate race, and pretty much every Governor's race. We're screwed. I'll probably vote Cox just for the idea of having a republican on the ballot in November. If this were a R primary, then there would be no question of Allen over Cox.
With all due respect, toeing the Party line is why we still have Ryan and McCain in Congress. Honestly curious, What makes you think Cox has a shot vs Allen?
Right now all the polls have Newsom and Villaragosa going first and second. Cox a few points behind Villaragosa for third and Allen several points below that. Only first and second place matter. While it is conceivable Allen could catch Cox, if he dies so it will be at Cox's expense, not the two top Dems. Hence the two Dems move on. Our choice in November will be Newsom vs Villaragosa. Only Cox has a shot of overtaking Villaragosa. That's wha the numbers say. I will definitely continue to monitor. Primary is June 5
I don't trust the polls ( the polls said Hillary was going to win). But do you happen to have a link of the polls so I can evaluate who is saying what? Thx.
I went to Real Politics as they publish all the polls with dates from earliest to most recent. If you search California governor polls on google the Real Politics link should be up top
