i guess my question was: who appeared on the ballot on the same line as Obama and who appeared on the same line as Romney?
(in traditional western philosophy, there is no such thing as a “lesser evil.” If Sherman was Berman’s opponent and was an improvement, that is not evil.)
All democrats are evil. In the case of Berman and Sherman I failed to see much distinction and both of them are definitely very liberal socialists and thus evil. You can say voting for whichever is slightly less liberal or less of a douchebag (sound like Berman may be the bigger d-bag) is not an "evil act" (if I lived there I would have divined which was "better" and voted for him) but the men are both evil without question so it's not at all improper to refer to one as "the lesser evil".
Anyway if Bloomfield (who it turns out is a former RINO who may still be a RINO running without label to increase his chances) runs again it may be the smart play to back him.
The new Cali system hasn't hurt us so far, helped reelect Miller who would have been dead meat. I think conservatives preferred the GOP State Senator opponent he had and democrats did too because Miller was the incumbent and had corruption issues yet he still won runoff, weird.
I fear it could hurt in the future though. If a Republican seat ever gets a RINO versus conservative runoff the RINO wins automatically. Heaven forbid a statewide race gets a rat/rat runoff thus robbing decent people of their constitutional right to have a half a chance to elect a statewide official in Cali. p
