Mitt Romney should make a campaign promise to cut all
federal funds for California’s highspeed rail.
If you can promise to get rid of Obamacare, could you please get rid of Jerry’s train at the same time?
In Democrat-dominated California, if Mitt Romney is likely
to lose the 55 electoral votes, he could make a point that would be popular outside
of California, and strangely might be popular to a large number of the Golden
state’s voters too.
Voters outside
California would have a number of reasons to agree with cancelling this California pork,
ultimately saving hundreds of billions.
Voters within
California, a majority now having second thoughts about Jerry Brown’s train to
nowhere, might hear fiscal sanity in a Romney promise to cut federal funding. That might help Republicans
in marginal races within the state.
What if it made California competitive by making its voters
think about the economy?
You know, we did vote for Reagan. Several times.
Greetings from a 108-degree
hot Sunday afternoon in Bakersfield, California. It's not that bad.
