Actually akasha is quite correct, and you are entirely wrong; she was not considered a joke in the California election by any means. > This is a woman who morphed herself from a conservative Republican > to a a liberal Democrat in a matter of a few years. Her positions > change like the wind. No, in fact they do not. First of all, she was never a conservative Republican; she was always socially liberal--pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay rights. Second, she is not now a liberal Democrat, she's a registered Indpendent. Her views did change on the role of government; previously she had assumed the private sector could solve major social problems, but she realized that an activist government was needed. That's when she switched from Republican to Independent, and she has maintained this position ever since. And she drives a Toyota Prius, not an SUV.
