i’m a horrible horrible democrat! i didn’t vote yesterday in the primary/special elections. i try to read all this political commentary and stay abreast of what’s going on in our government, and then the one or possibly two days a year i’m called upon to do a little reading and subsequent decision-making i fail, ‘because i had a busy day’. it’s so disappointing.

however, at the same time i’m also relieved that my gut preference on the main office i was concerned with, primary candidates for the race for governor, still went the way i think i would have voted. so although i can’t list a lot of reasons i’m going to vote for you, mr. angelides (that is, not yet), i have to say i appreciate the fact that you are both passionate-sounding from the clips i’ve heard of you on NPR, and funny-looking from every picture i’ve seen of you so far on yours and the LA times’ sites. it’s a good start that you’re generally billed as ‘the more progressive candidate’ too. i’m generally for more progress.

i promise when it’s time to vote for who gets to serve instead of just who gets to run, i will show up and pick the best choice between you and kindgergarten cop, whoever that may be. and to do enough learning before then to know who that is.
