Schiff v Garvey will likely draw more Rethugs voters out than Schiff v Porter would have. Those extra Rethug

86. And that is not my point, as I have explained up and down this OP thread. What 'worked' for Schiff could

possibly come with blowback for us Dems in close US House races in the general, as CA Rethugs will likely turn out more with a Rethug to vote for versus 2 Dems, especially a well known Rethug like Garvey.

If people are of a mindset that an actual well known Rethug (Garvey) in the statewide Senate general will somehow LOWER Rethug statewide general election turnout (versus Rethug statewide turnout for a Dem on Dem Senate contest), well that is faulty logic IMHO.

Rethugs will likely turn out in higher numbers to vote for an actual Rethug opponent of their object of hate, ie Schiff. They would much prefer to vote for Garvey v Schiff than another Dem opponent of Schiff, especially one who is further to the left than Schiff.

Also, here are 2 fairly recent races that show how a well known Rethug (Carly Fiorina, and the celebrity jock Garvey is even more well known than her) in the general had a closer general race than the last Dem v Dem general for that Class 3 US Senate CA seat.
