I don't comment much on my blogs about California Politics as I think it's about as screwed up as it can get. I barely have time to keep up with the Federal issues and races much less the intercine warfare what seems routine in California.
On of the interesting aspects of California Elections is that you can have a Governor of one party, like Gov. Muscles, and a Lt. Governor of another like Cruz Bustamonte, a Democrat.
Consequently the race for Lt. Governor is no small chickenfeed race yet it gets small coverage and is usually won by the person with be greatest name recognition. I found a video for one candidate, State Senator Jackie Speier , that speaks to a character building horrific experience in her life. I encourage all California Kossacks to watch it. It may get you to go through her website more throughly and help you make a choice. It's done that for me.
The Video is on her site and at Political Interviews. I hope to get a phone interview this week.
