The results of the California primary are still trickling in, but the verdict of the voters is clear:a win for common sense.

From San Francisco to LA, from Sacramento to San Diego, voters rejected radical socialism; refused to approve tax hikes; and chose candidates who emphasized policy over partisanship.

Republican Steve Hilton beat all of his rivalsin the governor’s race — and beat the polls. He went from being virtually unknown in the state to becoming the strongest opposition voice in California.

Voters approved his message and his tone, which was critical but optimistic.

Now the real work begins: shaping a campaign that can win Democrats without losing Republicans.

That’s the right approach, and he needs to tap a wide range of talent.
