(BURLINGAME, Calif.) The ongoing struggle over the direction of the GOP played out this weekend as the California Republican Party met at its convention: The party in California and elsewhere is torn between supporters who want to steadfastly hold to conservative principles and those who want to take a more moderate, pragmatic approach that could resonate with a broader cross section of voters.
The choice could not be more clear than in the two Republicans vying to challenge Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown. Tim Donnelly is a conservative state assemblyman who advocates expanding gun rights, and Neel Kashkari is a former U.S. Treasury official who wants to focus on the economy and education.
Kashkari is clearly in the expansion camp.
The Republican Party in 2012 was cast as the party of no, the party that doesnt like different, diverse communities, the party thats only for old, rich white guys, Kashkari, 40, told the gay group Log Cabin Republicans on Saturday.
The new Republican Party that I want to build is the diverse Republican Party. Every ethnicity, every sexual orientation, every lifestyle, everyone is welcome. The biggest tent youve ever seen in your life, he said.
The GOP has been steadily losing support in California for two decades, and registration has slipped below 29 percent. The party has struggled to win over younger voters and minorities, and party Chairman Jim Brulte said broadening the partys reach to potential new voters is a top priority this election year.
Still, the delegates who typically attend party conventions are among the most active and passionate, so many of those at the weekend gathering in Burlingame were sporting Donnelly for governor stickers.
The only thing Republican about Kashkari is the R after his name, said Judi Neal, a member of the Pasadena Republican Women Federated. I dont think hes capable of reaching out to conservatives.
Christopher Cole, who is chairman of the party in Lassen County in far northeastern California, said a moderate candidate would have a tough sell wooing conservatives in his county.
