There will be a proposition on the ballot here in '10 for an open primary.
It's a proposal by Schwartzenkennedy that is in my mind the absolute worst thing imaginable.

The major population centers here are decidedly lib and an open primary would ensure the voters of CA have two Dems on the ballot in the general election.

I'm sure that idea sounds good in the perspective of those who lean to the lefty side, but it completely disenfranchises those of us who have a more rational viewpoint.

Needless to say, there are people working to make certain this won't happen.
