[9] Dude, I think she's playing eight dimensional chess. And we have to trust that it's part of her campaign promise to "come out on top."

Yes, due to "onerous paperwork requirements on short notice" says the campaign. I remain hopeful that she makes the Certified Write-in Candidates list to be released on September 3rd.

Chris:
Perhaps the data from Oregon the year they went full mail in would be informative. Some years ago they made the same transition that CA did and I imagine their participation rates shot up through the roof just as you expect to happen here in CA. Currently, I believe Oregon has the highest rate of voter participation in the country, no doubt as a result of all mail in voting.

News Flash - Ms. Carey just pulled out, of the race that is.

Oh, almost forgot: Dept. of Lincoln Project.

No. You've got that confused with Ms.Carey's celebrated "Buxom Babes Over a Barrel," a stellar example of the earlier years of her prolific body of work. Ahem.

A cast of thousands, no doubt. As it's 2003 all over again I am going to re experience the California Combo, I call it, voting against recall and for the adult film actress, just in case. She (Mary Carey) has aged like a fine Single malt Scotch.

Chris and MC, do you have any thoughts about the people putting themselves forward as replacements, ignoring the Rs? (For non-Californians, you first vote yes or no on the recall, and can then vote for a long list of would-be replacements even if you voted against the recall.) It looks as though some are running to publicize a particular issue, but there doesn't seem to be much information on most of them. Or would you omit that part?

"So every registered voter got a ballot in the mail, automatically. They could mail it back in, they could drop it off at a voting location before Election Day, or they could show up to the polls as always, to drop off their ballot. But everyone got a ballot without even requesting one."

This is what Republicans are afraid of happening in every state, and what they are fighting against tooth and nail. The more people who vote, the more Republicans lose.

Yes, I am also not sweating this recall election. As our free press isn't technically free the media must create drama where there is little to be had. Gavin's got the war chest. Let's see a "get out the vote by mail" campaign here in CA (where it's safe) and thence spead it from sea to shining sea.
