A significant quote from a Tea Partier in the San Francisco area [correction, in Shingle Springs]:
Doug Roscoe, a 72-year-old retiree, said during the rally that he was still undecided about which Republican to vote for in the governor's race but said Poizner seemed like solid tea party material.

He added, "The immigration issue is a big one for us."
