I kind of like the idea of selecting candidates the way we select jurors. Any registered voter may have their number come up. Of course, they have to agree, and after that, they go through a constitutional test to make sure they understand it. I suppose if the office requires specific knowledge (like Comptroller or DA), there were have to be a vetting process to make sure they understood the content matter — but otherwise, just pick folks by lot. Can’t do much worse than what we’ve done in the recent past.

Is she having some kind of spastic episode? Maybe it’s the inappropriate shoes.

Pollsters supposedly report exactly what they were told by those they polled. So they’re poll parrots?

Why we are, where we are. People making up their minds 6 months ahead of time, based on name recognition or what letter follows the candidates name.’
