I once asked Steve Hilton whether he had aplan to win the governor’s race— not just to qualify for the general election.
He said he did. Work hard, campaign on ideas, talk to voters.
All of that is good, I said. But had he considered spending money toboost Chad Bianco?
He looked at me like I was a little nuts. Which, to be fair, might be an accurate assessment.
But if it was good enough for Democrat Adam Schiff to promote Republican Steve Garvey two years ago, ensuring he wouldn’t face a tougher race against a fellow Democrat in the general, why shouldn’t Republicans play some of the same games?
After all, Hilton’s best chance of winning was toface another Republicanin the general election.
Because the rule in California — not ironclad, but a rule of thumb — is that the worst Democrat will usually defeat the best Republican.
That’s just the math of party registration and turnout.
Hilton didn’t take my advice. In fact, he called on Bianco to drop out of the race.
