I sent an e-mail to the Cal secretary of state’s office before the election. The response was that the parties were responsible to certify their candidates. I replied that they must be extremely naive to think that Howard Dean vetted Obama or anyone else for that matter.

WTH??? So if I start the "Venezuelan Party" and run Hugo Chavez for US President and I "certify" him as eligible, he can run and win?

But wouldn't the Clintons have used their connections in the Democratic party to make sure this was done if there was any chance of it working?

So Arnold CAN run for President.....*

....So long as the newly-formed "Arnoldian Party" says they vetted their candidate.

Some of these Democrat Secretaries of State are incredibly stupid.

Debra Bowen, California Secretary of State, Democrat and Obama Supporter... Did anyone expect a different response?
