California Republicans gathered this past weekend at their state convention to sort out their image problem. The once-dominant political party in California now claims fewer than 30 percent of registered voters, no statewide offices, and only a handful of seats in the legislature.

The state party may also be up to $800,000 in the red. John Myers, Political Editor for KXTV in Sacramento, covered this weekend’s convention. He joins the show with an update.
