How many will bother to vote in the Calif. June primary??

Feel bad for the down-ticket. Can imagine many voters staying home.

Ridiculous having a later primary than many - this has got to change.

I agree with your post. They should definitely bump up the date to restore relevancy

CA is a non-starter as far as the Rep.presidential nomination is concerned. But there is other work to be done by voting in the CA primary. Voting NO on 2 Props to increase taxes, trying to elect more conservative judges (yeah I know, good luck), and voting for the anti-Rep. establishment in Congressional District race (after vetting the candidate). The Senate races here are very frustrating and downright depressing. Nobody on “our side”, whether Tea Party or RINO has any traction against the two wicked witches from the West.

Anyway, I’m voting.

For months, I was attacked by the Cainiacs, the Newties, etc. Many of them would respond to my posts with 'well, who are you for?' I would respond:
Well, as it turned out, by the time of my state primary, the last man standing was Romney. Ironically, the Dem ballot had more choices [candidates still running] than the GOP ballot.

For some reason I kept thinking of 3rd world countries that claim to be democratic and offer ONE candidates. By the time of my state primary, that is all the GOP was offering.

Being quite rural we are in a mail in ballot only precinct, thus required to fill in absentee ballots to vote, or go downtown about a thirty mile round trip to vote. We choose to do the mail ballot.

Voted Newt, and all the conservative downticket. We did our part for the Conservatives of California. Let’s see what happens now.

(Yes Newt was on the ballot)
