Will the wackiest loon in Rancho Kookoobananas win the GOP primary for CA Secretary of State? Politico yesterday quoted several Republican operatives who lamented that Orly Taitz Queen of the Birthers does indeed stand a chance! Rooting for Orly as we watch the polls, because what Democrat wouldn't want to run against her?
Early results, with 10% of precincts reporting:
Secretary of State - Statewide Results
Republican
Candidate........................Votes...................Percent
Damon Dunn ...................288,392.................74.8%
Orly Taitz.........................97,384...................25.2%
Go Orly Go!
Chris Matthews just called her nuts, and asked how the other Republican candidates would deal with this "malignancy on their tickets."
Keep your fingers crossed for Orly! She's in it to win it!
A reminder from Orly:
WASH POST ASKS: “HOW WILL REPUBLICANS COPE, IF TAITZ IS ELECTED?” MY ANSWER: REPUBLICANS WILL DO JUST FINE, THEY WILL HAVE AN ACE IN THEIR DECK. DEMS WILL HAVE A PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS, AS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S ILLEGITIMACY TO US PRESIDENCY AND NEED FOR PROSECUTION WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER.

LOS ANGELES—Former NFL player Damon Dunn has won the Republican nomination for California secretary of state.
Dunn defeated Orange County lawyer Orly Taitz in Tuesday's primary, and will face incumbent Democrat Debra Bowen in the general election in November.
Dunn is a self-described "recovering nonvoter" who hadn't cast a ballot in an election until 2009. He had said his failure to vote would help him reach out to other nonvoters and inspire them to get involved.
