California Dreamin': GOP's Chance To Flip The Golden State
Authored by Mike Robertson via American Thinker,
Ahead of the gubernatorial election this fall, pundits are buzzing with something Californians haven’t heard in years: a real chance to flip the Golden State red - at least with a new governor in Sacramento.
