Bernie did well in the debate and is double digits leading in Nevada last I read. One step at a time, but feeling positive.

Last nights debate struck me as being a schoolyard brawl or food-fight. Disappointing on all fronts.

I guess hoping for a group of functioning adults to have a rational discussion about policy issues kind of set me up for that.

What a bunch of

Something that is CA specific but bothers me is that in this state if you are not a registered *insert party* you cannot participate in the primaries. You are required to change affiliations temporarily to participate and then hope that the automatic return to previous registration works. I think this might (know it does) discourage a lot of people from voting the primaries. The state process for doing this is clear as mud. Mine worked but I don't see too many going through the hassle. There are a lot of delegates in CA.

I moved to California a couple months ago and registered as a 'no party preference ' voter; I did this in hopes of avoiding the non stop mailings and calls during election seasons. I feared I had screwed myself when my NPP ballot came in the mail with no primary voting options. However, I just called the registrar's office, told them I wish to vote in the upcoming primary and they're sending out a new ballot. I asked her twice about being switched to the Democratic party preference and she assured me I haven't, that I'm still registered as no party preference. The only hoop I have to jump through is mailing a pink slip, which comes with the new ballot, back to them saying I received two ballots and have shredded the first one. It comes with its own envelope so easy peasy.

Bernie Sanders has told Russia publicly to stay out of U.S. elections. I wonder what he will do about the Russia issue if he wins? Bernie doesn't strike me as an especially tech-savvy guy. Will he be smart enough to get input and help from tech-savvy people?
