Wasn’t Leland Yee running for Secretary of State? He could not have been running for two offices simultaneously could he? There were 16 candidates for Governor. The open-primary is the most ridiculous law ever passed!

According to a commenter on the LA Times web site,

“Thousands voted for Leland Yee because he received an endorsement and campaign contributions from the NSFMA, the National Shoulder Fired Missile Association.”

My own theory as to why Yee got so many votes: Open Primary.

This is an office that most folks don’t know or care much about, and hard to get excited about who wins. But, this D-Bag is right there on the ballot like a ripe juicy peach waiting to be plucked.

Who better to vote for to showcase what the Dem Party has to offer the Golden state? The cross-over votes were strong with this one.

While you’re rewriting California’s Constitution, don’t forget to abolish the State Board of Equalization and put a “Department of Revenue” in its place.
