Laguna Niguel attorney Orly Taitz, known nationwide for efforts to prove President Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen, is leading the Republican field in the reelection bid of U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., according to a poll by another Republican in the race.
Taitz is the best known of the candidates, thanks to her numerous suits against Obama, and polls at 19 percent among Republican voters, according to the poll by Los Angeles businessman Al Ramirez. Ramirez places second at 15 percent. Danville autism advocate Elizabeth Emken received the state GOP’s endorsement on Sunday but was tied for last place at 2 percent in the Ramirez poll.
The fact of the matter, though, is that few have heard of most of the candidates – 38 percent responded they didn’t know who they’d vote for if the election were held today. And Ramirez’ Latino surname, the only one on the list, may have helped him.
