Chelena Just Can't Catch A Break With The Media
This new "candidate" was already reported here, but what is news about this is that the AP seems to have already deemed Nightingale as irrelevant:

What do they mean by "independent"? Under the two party dictatorship, all of the "third parties" are "independent", including the Independent Party. I'm convinced that the Independent Party itself was an engineered product to respond to those people, like myself, who objected to having to register with a political party just to register to vote, who wanted to vote independent of any political party.

I've head Larry Elder talk about this several times. He registered as independent thinking he was registering to vote without registering for a political party. In California it's decline to state that registers someone to vote, but not under any specific party affiliation. |

You know what would be even better than Decline to State? No party registration at all. No primaries and no need to register with some political party. Not only is it none of the government's business what your political party is, it is none of the government's business to have any administrative function in political parties at all. It ought to be constitutionally suggested that the government cannot have any administrative function in political parties nor can it keep track of what a voter's political party is.

I was registered Decline to State for many years . . . the only problem is if you wanted to vote for a Republican in the Primaries, you had to re-register as Republican for your vote to count - not so with the Democrats, they'll take anyone's vote in the Primaries.
For the General election, you can be Decline to State and vote for whoever, I'm not sure why they don't do the same for the primaries. |

Of course when the actual constitutionally mandated elections come along, there is only one ballot. It makes absolutely no difference what the political parties the candidates belong to. No candidate for any office anywhere in the US, local, state or federal, need belong to any political party at all in order to run or serve. The primaries are a huge mess and expensive too and only exist to subsidize, with your tax dollars, the "Two Party System".

Now put all that experience up against a Meg Whitman or Jerry Brown and Chelene doesn't even make the grade of fading into the background. There's nothing to fade. |

Meg Whitman: Failed to win my vote with her "I'm for the children" response to an inquiry about taxpayer funding of illegal aliens and anchor babies, through various govt. programs. Jerry Brown: Failed to knock off Bill Clinton in the Democratic primary when he suggested the Arkansas Governor had been funneling state business to his wife's law firm. |

Whitman's continual running of her own spots attacking Poizner for his support of democrats and high taxes is definitely gonna hurt unless he can get his behind in gear and quite soon. This might be a Whitman/Brown race. I can't think of anything more unappetizing. Meg Whitman would not made my top ten, but I won't stand on some silly, asinine principle and let California go brown without at least a vote against it. As a qualifier. I KNOW, beyond any doubt at all that SOMEONE is gonna come along and say "Kathy said the word BROWN, RACIST, Get 'er! Just so there won't be any mistake that's JERRY BROWN for the uninformed. |
