Are you freaking kidding me?

You're on a gun board and you'd vote for Gavin Newsom for Lt. Gov, Some guy named Kelly for AG (instead of a pro-gun Constitutionalist like John Eastman) and Mickey Kaus for US Senate?

Gavin Freaking Newsom?

GTFOH

Hmmm, did you miss the fact that I am in a Democratic primary, as a registered Democrat? No Republicans appear on my ballot. Come November, it will be Maldonado for Lt. Gov, and Eastman for AG. Purely for gun rights, Carly is the right person for US Senate in November.

By the way, considering how many Facebook accounts have gun pictures on them, I can't call Kelly anti-gun, unlike Harris Toricco, and Lieu.

Thanks for the GOC voting guide. This with the NRA guide helped a lot.

http://www.nrapvf.org/Elections/State.aspx?y=2010&State=CA

Both the GOA/GOC and the NRA recommended AANESTAD over LEVITT.

I'm pretty much a single issue voter too; and a libertarian. I'm on a Republican ballot because I resisted Rep. to vote for Ron Paul in 2008 but I need to de-register somehow. Plus, I have usually always been much happier with the decisions made my pro-2a people than then general populace so voting pro-2a only is my strategy than just examining each candidate.

Some people are prone to freaking the eff out when they see something liberal. I too am voting in the Democratic primary, though I'm not a registered Democrat.

Basically since I'm voting on a Dem primary ballot my goal is and in my opinion for anyone else doing so should be to get the best candidates on this end through. That means I skip on the really badly anti gun candidates even if it means picking no names. For me that means, for instance, picking Korevaar over Newsom or Hahn in the LG race. Korevaar is probably pretty anti-gun by my standards, but nowhere near as much as Newsom or Hahn. He's also talking pretty fiscally conservative for a Democrat. I disagree with Mickey Kaus on too many things to vote for that guy, and since it came down to him, Boxer, or Quintana, the latter is the no-brainer vote.

But really these are the primaries and to me it's all about getting Jerry Brown on the November ballot and levying my votes against people like Boxer and Newsom. Those are admirable goals from a pro-gun perspective if not a Republican perspective entirely, so I really don't know why the more conservative of members on here want to get their panties in a wad. I could choose to vote in your primary but it wouldn't make a difference. When the general election comes around my votes will change quite a bit since more than one party will be on my ballot. I will probably vote for Dems, Reps, and maybe even a Libertarian on my November ballot.

I don't think "GTFOH" should be something we see on these forums. Plain and simple. Even if Sarah Brady herself is posting here that is not the kind of attitude I like to see. But I guess if foaming at the mouth is something certain people would like to do on these boards, that's between them and the staff here.

Anyone else with a Democrat ballot want to weigh in on the Insurance Comish race? I know it's not the most important position especially from a gun rights standpoint but I like to research all of my votes.

Also can someone tell me what to do on the Treasurer vote? Yeah I am not voting for Bill Lockyer. But my question is, if I leave it blank, will that cause a problem? Do I need to write-in Zombie Michael Jackson for this to be a valid ballot, or do I just leave it blank?

[Rascal]

You do not have to fill in all the blanks. Your ballot is still good if you leave blank spots. It is your right to NOT vote for a position if those who are running are not to your liking.

[an actual gun]

Thanks man. That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. Appreciate the response.

[Cokebottle]

Come November, it will be Maldonado for Lt. Gov.

The perfect definition of lying snake.

In the general, I'll throw my support to the Libertarian rather than vote for Maldonado.
I refuse to vote "lessor of two evils".

The same will be true if it's Brown vs Meg.

Dave Jones is billed as more of the consumer champion and Torre is pretty much a general liberal

i'm going with Jones

[tophatjones]

DONT vote for Jones OR La Torre. They both voted in favor of AB 962 and Jones authored AB 2521.

The Author of AB 2521, CA Assemblyman Dave Jones, claims the new system is designed to "protect the consumer" by insuring gun shipments are not sent to recipients whose Federal Licenses are not in good standing. That, of course is nonsense. Current Federal law already requires a shipping FFL to confirm that the shipment's recipient has a valid license. No, the real purpose for the new law is to impose a wall of red tape blocking shipments to California. The new law has already had a chilling effect. There have already been a plethera of notices on gun auction boards stating: "Due to new regulations, we will not ship firearms to California".

For you Dems, I'm voting Mike Schmier for AG.

He's kind of a dork but he claims to support 2A. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vdsY...eature=related

not sure what that has to do with this:

Oversees and directs all functions of the Department of Insurance.
Licenses, regulates, and examines insurance companies.
Answers public questions and complaints regarding the insurance industry.
Enforces the laws of the California Insurance Code and adopts regulations to implement the laws.
