In preparation for the statewide convention of the California Republican Party this weekend, the Calbuzz Department of Process, Rules and Schadenfreude has been in secret discussions with apparatchiks who are cooking up what you might call your Soviet Rule – whereby the GOP Politburo determines who’s pure enough to get the party imprimatur in a top-two primary. JOHN BOLTON « CALBUZZ Like a herd of wooly mammoths at the end of the Pleistocene epoch, the California Republican Party is on the verge of extinction.. It may still recover. The CRP has come back from near death before. And redistricting, alongside the top-two primary system may yet revive it. DAMON DUNN « CALBUZZ The most interesting thing about the special election race for L.A.’s just-deserted 36 th Congressional District seat is that it will be the first high-profile campaign in California to be played out under the new “jungle primary” rules..

We’d be tempted to accept Silver’s admonition COCODRILO TEARS RE LATINOS & A SAD FAREWELL TO TRUTH « CALBUZZ We had to laugh when we saw Rob Stutzman, one of Meg Whitman’s top strategists, telling columnist George Skelton that Republicans in California need to demonstrate some “empathy” for Latinos if they hope ever to convince them to vote for one of their candidates..
