California Progress Report has this commentary about Proposition 14, the top-two ballot measure on the June 8, 2010 California ballot. The commentary, by Calitics editor Brian Leubitz, also appears in Calitics, and itself links to Enik Rising, a blog by political scientist Seth Masket. Masket is the author of “No Middle Ground”, a 2009 book about polarization in the California legislature. Disclosure: these blogs refer back to the May 10 KQED debate between Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado and Richard Winger, and contain a link to that debate.

I had an odd experience. I sent in a letter to the editor against Prop 14. The Editor of the paper e-mailed me back (a first) and line by line questioned everything I had to say. He demanded that I had to PROVE that everything I said was true or my letter would not be printed.
This is the strangest shit ever. The Fascists are goose-stepping in California.
11 days until the DOOM of the gerrymander party hacks in the CA legislature (and perhaps in ALL regimes in the U.S.A.) ???
Think D-Day in 1944 — DOOM of the Axis regimes.
P.R. and App.V. —
NO primaries are needed.
