i know i dont need to say this since there are no losers at anandtech but gray davis is the most incompetent governor in the country and needs to be thrown out office. the only cool thing he ever did was the following:
once gray davis was on a beach in hawaii and he saw an 18 year old cybill shepherd so her porked her


anyway we really need all anandtechers to turn out tues and vote for bill simon. we can do it, were a-techers.

That's what I was thinking.

I agree Davis has to go but look at the other choices.

What to do, what to do.

Very important: do not vote for judges or other non-partisan positions if you don't know the candidates. Leave that line blank! There are no competency or education requirements to run for these positions, so if you vote for "Tim Smith" just because the name sounds good you could be voting a complete incompetent into your state's sumpreme court.

Same with initiatives and referendums: it's better not to vote on a specific item than to vote in ignorance. Here in Washington state we have a sounds-nice referendum to "give police/firefighters a voice in their pension plan" that could cost the state hundreds of millions a year in extra spending because of details in the fine print.

Your state voter's guide usually has information for and against, and looking at who is endorsing a candidate or proposal and who is opposing it / them can be helpful.

Your local newspaper's editiorial section usually has recommendations with the reasons why. You may be able to read it online if you don't get the paper (here in Seattle, www.seattletimes.com)

HAHAHA, are you kidding? Bill Simon is just as big an idiot as Gay Davis. Vote for a 3rd party person, or write in Richard Reardon...

bump for reading up on the nonpartisan candidates and initiatives/referendums before you vote Bob Jones the drunken street bum into a supreme court judgeship (see post / semi-rant above).

Another bump to remind you to vote if you haven't already.


I just got back from the polls.

I voted last Friday. TX allows us to vote at will for 2 weeks prior to the election. Early voting means no standing in line :D
