There are a few interesting candidates running for election. I'm not going to make any "endorsements", but I find these folks interesting.

Bill Lockyer - a Democrat who has sounded warnings about pension problems. Google him and read the stories that come up.

C.T. Weber - a Peace and Freedom candidate, implying that he's a socialist, who is economically pragmatic, even conservative. Read his website.

Peter De Baets - a Libertarian candidate, is a computer programmer. His software (at peterssoftware.com) runs on Microsoft Access. Microsoft's been taken to court, accused of monopolistic practices.

Anyway, I'm voting mostly liberal, Dem ticket. I'm also losing enthusiam for the Redistricting Commission. The big money Munger put in is bugging me. No on 20 for sure.
