[geeks] California Proposition 14

[rjtoegel at verizon.net]

   This is a surprise?  The media has be at this for years.  In the last
   presidential election, with what little "news" I watched on TV, I
   didn't see them make fun of Nader this time.

     Yeah, that's about how it looks to me. The most likely result of
     this
     would be to /de facto/ lock third parties and independents out of
     politics in California, *period*. Never mind failing to get elected,
     they wouldn't even be able to get on the ballot.
