A Republican initiative that would split California’s electoral vote and almost certainly give the White House to the GOP is still alive, according to the Brad Blog, which has a remarkable interview with one of the measure’s chief backers.

Anthony F. Andrade Jr. told the blog’s Brad Freidman that the measure could still make the June ballot. He also showed a bit of his political colors, saying that he’s all about stopping Hillary, that the Clintons are “pricks” and that gay people are “loony.”

“The people that are involved in that lifestyle have a lot of emotional problems. You know what I mean?,” he asked. “Look, I don’t know if you’re gay or not, but the people that I know who are, who are involved in that, are a little bit loony, if you know what I mean.”

What a sweet bunch of folks over at the GOP. I wonder if Giulinani and his pals will at the very least repudiate Andrade’s remarks.
