8. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 18% - more, if he ratchets up his anti-Hispanic rhetoric

I lived in Orange County for years, and can tell you that his is a common sentiment among the state's Republicans.

The op-ed claims this was a case of mistaken identity of sorts - that Little was picked simply because his name sounds "traditional" and not enough other Republicans were mentioned.

While I don;t doubt there was some of that, keep in mind that Little's ejection form the May 5 state GOP convention was very well-publicized, and in fact is what first made him familiar to California Republicans.

And suffice it to say, they liked what they saw (many of them, anyway).
