So why did Rove's group dump over 1$ million in California AG's race?

[Hawaii Hiker]

The California AG race a few weeks ago was probably 4th. in order of importance of the races in CA that day behind governor, senator, Lt. Governor....Rove must really be scared of Kamala Harris if a million bucks (perhaps more) was spent on an AG race!...That GOP wave certainly missed CA, as democrats won all 8 races, and didn't lose any House seats there...

Do you think Kamala Harris is a rising star in the Democratic party?..

1. Rove wanted an AG that would fight every piece of

legislation that came down from the Dems.

By either not enforcing it, or not approving of it.

Also - the AG could press charges against everyone from the Gov on down....

2. This was one the Repubs thought they could win, and almost did.

When Harris took LA County it was over. (Cooley, the R candidate - DA of LA County - needed LA to win)

Yeah, I think Harris has a future in the Party beyond this position.
:hi:

3. Dumping money is the only way that Rove

can influence elections in CA - Debra Bowen threw out all hackable machines.
