PROPPED OUT

Did I mention that we have voted in the California Primary which is tomorrow?

Almost everyone here now votes by mail.

There were a lot of local candidates, many which I do not have adequate information about.

Judges, regional school administrators, water boards and the like. When I do not know who to go for, I vote against the incumbent. I just figure that in an imperfect world the guys who are in might well be out. Change is good.

We have a lot of non-partisan positions here so party is not a help.

In the big marquee races, Senator, it is pretty clear who to go for. Feinstein. Although I don't much like her positions there in the right center, much of the time, she beats the GOoPer all hollow.

The Representative is, again, whoever is not Mary Bono Mack. The rubber stamp Rep. Always was and always will be.

We have three Propositions. If in doubt, I always vote "no" on Props and I am always in doubt. It is hard to figure which special interests are trying to pull a fast one so I throw the rascal's Props out.

I differ from Kevin Drum who is voting for term limits.

California Propositions.

I don't like term limits. Period. Sure, it allows power centers to collect but I don't much like government by newbie either. Look at the House of Representatives in DC.

We agree on popular vote managing of finances. Besides, pity the poor smoker for a change.

This is a continuation of the social engineering which I oppose.

And, oh yeah! We got to vote for Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States!
