I'm not sure 14 was a good idea, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

I'm positive 14 was a bad idea, actually, and I think that'll be visible by November.

Assuming that party status matters - i.e. that candidates from every will have certain approaches that differ strikingly from each other separated clearly by their party membership - then it'll become possible to have two candidates running with almost the same platform.

While I think it increases the types of choices you can make on the preliminary ballot, it has the lopsided effect on the November state ballots when there's a possibility that the opposition party won't be available to vote for.

14 was a terrible horrible no good very bad idea, and I really hope it gets overturned.

I was laughing at myself this morning. Every morning after an election I see the results and start ranting about what a bunch of moronic douchebags the voters in California are.

So 14 will be overturned the first election we have after we have no choice but to vote on a Republican v. Republican or Democrat v. Democrat ticket, right?

I was explaining the propositions to Ben last night before voting. I started reading the premise of 14 to him and he was all, "ooh! that sounds great!" ... but then I read him the other half and he said, "um, never mind." Somehow I think people didn't read more than the first half.

Yeah, I had the same reaction. "Oh, hey, awesome, open primaries... wait, WHAT??"
