Of the viable candidates, Gore will take the least so that is why I am asking everyone to vote for him. Political parties in California are the most democratic institutions going. County Central Committee members are elected during the primary election or are appointed by elected representatives. Forty signatures and 500 xeroxed sheets to hand out to neighbors is about all anyone needs to run a campaign with a chance of success. Two weeks before a general election, when people walk around saying they have no choice, shows ignorance of the mechanics of candidate selection.
Most candidates start small and go on to higher offices.
Individual votes in local elections where candidates get their start are important. If I thought Nadar had a snowball's chance, I might vote for him. I would much rather vote for Jerry Brown, who has been able to have a track record of using power. Nadar's never had power, never willing to start locally or Congressionally. We have had several wonderful disability rights advocates who have bombed as administration people.
