A charismatic moderate Latino/Latina Republican could possibly win a US Senate seat in California during a Republican leaning midterm against a lackluster Democratic non incumbent. I don’t see Garvey fitting anywhere in that frame.
Funny thing about the jungle primary, Democrats were against it and GOP was for it...Anyway Garvey always makes me think of SNL and Fred Garvin male prostitute...
no idea who this person is but the still seems like he could've been pulled straight out of a bit-part in some '60s drama. like a Quinn Martin production or something.
I remember seeing Steve Garvey play for the Dodgers when I was a kid. But I'm old AF. Anyone younger than me is going to have little to no clue who the hell he is.
Barbara Lee has no business running in this senate race. She's 77 years old now. I'm old now - I'll be retiring next August - but I'm getting tired of this fucking gerantocracy. If OHJB still leads the party in 2024, more power to him, but let's hope there's a cadre of 40-year-olds behind him.
Geez, such a bummer that I live in Massachusetts instead of California. Steve Garvey went to my high school and my college, so I'm sure we'd be right on the same political page. Right? By the way, back in the day I somehow found out that he was remembered at our high school as the guy who said, "Yes, sir" and "Yes, ma'am." If that's not a quintessential Republican, I don't know what is.
He was almost ten years ahead of me, so I didn't run into younger people who could have confirmed your suspicions. By the time I became aware of our similar geographical paths, I had no interest in paying any attention to him, so I defer to your greater knowledge on that.
Garvey wants to replace Diane Feinstein who died at age 90 (?). He's 74, a mere 16 years younger. I think we're had enough of geriatric politicians.
You didn't play for me. Cubs fan here. Take it somewhere else, Mr. Affable.
A sports ball player from the '80s? Yeah there's likely to be some sexual assault skeletons in that closet
Garvey's more of the traditional Republican. He cheated on his wife, and then cheated on the woman with whom he was cheating on his wife.
So he's a Newt Gingrich Republican then, yes?

I will have to see the RBI average of the other candidates before I can make a decision.
Katie. Porter.
Everyone forgets that, while married, Garvey got two girlfriends pregnant at the same time. Family values at its best!

In Color!

Name recognition does not equal good political acumen. We’ve seen that a few times now.
It’s nice to see a walk-off HR and all, but it was against the Cubs.
Republicans are counting on Californians to be as dumb as Alabamans.
at least this guy probably actually lives in California.

I am a frequent user, perhaps even an over-user, of "thank you" sometimes with sir or ma'am appended.
But, now that I remember who the fuck he is, I assume that Garvey said it with a distinct Eddie Haskell intonation.

We had an Eddie Haskell-type a year ahead of me in High School.
He was so widely-loathed that his classmates wrote a song about him.
I can't quote the whole thing but the last line was:
"Christ, but he makes me sick."
I don't know what happened him. Probably drowned in his own bile or something.
Thank you for the belly laugh. Don't search for the guy. The truth could never match your fantasy.
I had almost forgotten Steve Garvey whose preening, philandering career made him a Karen before there were Karens.
Older voters from San Francisco, through Los Angeles to San Diego will have their memories revived like a Proustian wine fart.
Middle-aged to younger votes will react with a resounding "Huh?"
Who will be the white (gotta be white) knight to save the R party?
I know! Draft George Santos!
"Santos" might be too busy, what with him being the starting goalie for the New York Islanders.
Since when does the head coach also play?! What a talented young drag queen.
Why, he's a player/coach! Plus his teammates voted for him to be team captain.
Wait'll they find out that he used his position to steal their credit card numbers!
No no no, they GAVE him their credit card numbers! Voluntarily!
