...and you have my heartfelt sympathy for not getting Bustamante in. Better luck next time.
That silly belief, both at the time and to this day is not only trite, but sophomoric! Time to shed that old wives tale, don't you think?
Now, in a more serious vein... The news coverage of this has been really muted. Beside the fact that the tiny group of activists/fanatics had the signing ceremony out in the woods along the Bear River with NO prior announcement of the "undisclosed location!"
I actually think they were really gettin scared of a FREEP!!! (the danged cowards)
I like you, but that was a cheap shot. Mark was a McClintock - not a Bustamante - supporter, as I'm sure you know.
Neither California nor the Nation can afford to continue electing these big-government socialists like Arnold who call themselves republicans in order to get elected.
To continue to vote for these people not only carries us all further down the Road to Serfdom (a little more slowly, perhaps), but discredits the ideals of the opposition party.
