Q: What could Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco do as governor?
A: There are five good things a mostly-conservative governor can and should do:

1. He can veto all the bad bills – protecting Californians for four years.

2. He can destroy the evil Newsom administration by replacing the leadership of all California’s 200+ departments, commissions, boards, panels, bureaus, and offices, and ordering them to “clean house.”

3. He can appoint constitutional judges (the governor gets to appoint state judges to vacant judicial seats, around 100 per year).

4. He can set a new standard of good government, with his good deeds lasting beyond his administration (such as building dams and reinstituting the death penalty for murderers).

5. He can use his “bully pulpit” to educate Californians about the difference between good and evil, with myriad examples of waste, fraud, and abuse, at the very least.

And he can do much more, such as calling special legislative sessions to address one big problem at a time, and deploying California National Guard troops to preserve public safety.

I’m writing this because there’s a real chance to elect a mostly-conservative Republican governor this year. It all depends on conservatives being energized to vote in the “jungle” primary election, starting in early May, so that Bianco and Hilton win the “top two,” guaranteeing one of them will be elected governor in the November run-off.

Californians haven’t elected a Republican governor since Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006. But in this year’s race, opinion polls are suggesting the unthinkable for Democrats: a potential two-man showdown in November in which both candidates are from the GOP. Under the state’s electoral rules, only the top two finishers in the June 2 primary appear on the general election ballot, regardless of party. The leaders in two recent polls were Republicans, former Fox News commentator Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.
