California is like a bowl of cereal, if your not a fruit, or a nut your a 
flake!

Right now although Ron Paul is slightly cooky he is the ONLY candidate that 
has a CLUE (no pun intended) about what the Constitution and the Bill of 
Rights are about and what the founding fathers originally 
INTENDED.  Unfortunately he doesn't stand a chance because our current 
political system is corrupted by TWO parties. Even though Paul is running 
as a republican the Republicans will NOT let him win because he doesn't 
follow the party line. That is probably why Obama won't win either. Clinton 
just sucks right up to the Democratic party line so in the end they will 
show her as the winner. The ONLY way ANYONE who is against the current 
system can win is to get a LOT more publicity, get more of the "fed up 
folks" on their side. Right now the only one seeming to be doing that is 
Obama - look at Iowa. The current political system ITSELF HAS TO BE 
CHANGED. Third party candidates are literly locked out of the process by 
the Democrats and Republicans. And anyone who doesn't follow the party line 
doesn't stand a chance of wining when running as a Democrat or Republican - 
thing about it...
