Orly Taitz may win CA Sec of State primary

California Republicans optimistic about their prospects in November could find themselves with a bit of a problem after the votes are counted in Tuesday’s primaries — a statewide ticket with the so-called “Birther Queen” as one of their candidates.

Orly Taitz is an Israeli émigré who has spent the past two years filing lawsuits challenging President Barack Obama’s right to be president on the grounds that he was born in Kenya. In the process, she has earned herself $20,000 in court fines.

Now she’s running for the GOP nomination for secretary of state, and with her establishment-backed primary opponent mounting a less-than-stellar campaign against her, operatives say there’s a chance she could win.

“It’d be a disaster for the Republican party,” says James Lacy, a conservative GOP operative in the state. “Can you imagine if Meg Whitman and Abel Maldonado — both of whom might have a chance to win in November — had to run with Orly Taitz as secretary of state, who would make her cockamamie issues about Obama’s birth certificate problems at the forefront of her activities?”

Must. Fight. It.

Nah--I'm an Arizonan--I got enough to deal with here.

I think it's very unlikely, but it would certainly assure the election of a Democrat, so who cares?

The more high profile nutbags on GOP tickets, the better for us.

Hope it really hurts the GOP.

I can't understand how whacky that state is. What a basket case. I donated to Jerry Brown though I'm unemployed, but hey... seriously now.
