Calif. GOP 'can't even find a candidate to run for governor next year'

The Republican Party has become so pathetic in California that it can't even find a candidate to run for governor next year.

Correct that. It isn't even looking. Wouldn't know where to begin.

... Republicans will hold a state convention next weekend in Sacramento. Normally, there'd be a parade of gubernatorial wannabes fighting for the mike and opening up hospitality suites during the silly hours. But not this time.

... Gov. Jerry Brown ... probably can't be bounced from office, however. So forget about trying to find a Republican winner. Just settle for a credible candidate who can pass the laugh test.

3. The carpetbagger

Ashley Swearingen, currently mayor of Fresno, has her eye on the governor's mansion and the Republicans have been grooming her for higher office. Having said that, there's no chance in hell that, a) the rest of California would vote a (transplanted) Valleyite to statewide office (last time that happened was George Deukmajian) and b) a Republican will win the governorship.
