Bill, couldn't agree more. The ONLY reason Jackson gets as many general election votes as she does is that for most of us she's the lesser of two evils. What's wrong is the primary process is so controlled by the local party "apparatchik" that new potential candidates can't get enough political and financial backing to break through. I can't believe that a more responsive candidate couldn't have been culled from the thousands of Dem's in this Senate district. Hopefully the passage of Prop 11 will begin to turn the tide, attracting more viable candidates

Yes, ernie1241, the Birchers learned their lessons from the Klan well -- they spread fear and loathing while keeping their identities thoroughly hidden. Storke, Veblen and others had the courage to call them on it. So, Ernie, go on following Sir Toby's advice (in Will Shakespeare's "Twelve Night"): "Let there by gall enough in thy ink; though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter."

Henry, I remember the "squawk box incident" -- specifically Assembly Sheila Kuehl (D. Santa Monica) et al hoping that the whole dialogue wasn't being recorded for posterity. It was!! And, yes, as you say, those particular dems -- and I'm a democrat too -- were willing to sacrifice our fiscal well-being for partisan political advantage. Disgusting!
