It's impossible to have "None of the above - For a new election" on the 2002 California ballot. What we can do in 2002 is to protest the choice of "Pay to Play Gray" Davis and Bill "Simple" Simon. How to send a message: Vote for one of the minor-party candidates (you can even just pick one at random!). Then in 2004 we can put a real "None of the above" initiative on the ballot, not like the silly one that failed in 2000. I've started a web site about this at www.noneoftheabove.org that talks about some of the options, as well as the dismal choice Californians face in November. I'll try to start a discussion on Free Republic about this in a few days.

Many of us used your logic when we voted for Ross Perot in 1992--what a mistake that was!!!
Instead we got 8 painful,divisive and depressing years of Der Slickmeister. Thank goodness for the Republic Congress--they were the only bright light of the 1990's.
No candidate, including Bill Simon (or GHWB whom many including myself rejected in 1992), is perfect, but to make the good the enemy of the perfect is big mistake. IMHO
