Not Sure Who You Support for California Republican Senate Candidate? Why Not Vote for Kaus?

Since, I think, California's primaries are open, if you don't care who wins the Fiorina-Campbell-DeVore tussle (or if you think Fiorina's going to win easily), why not cast a vote for Kaus over Barbara Boxer? (Whoops-- a commenter says the primaries are closed. Update: if you're a decline-to-state you can request a ballot for the primaries.)

Kaus if often accused of being a conservative or a Republican by his liberal Democrat friends.

I'd like to defend him from the charge, and say No, he's not! Don't reject his ideas with such easy branding!, but, uhh...

I knew of a very, very gay dude in college, who claimed he was straight for most of his life. Hear tell, in his senior year, he announced to his friends -- exclusively women -- "I'm coming out; I've thought about this a lot, and I've realized I'm gay."

One woman hugged him and said, "Stephen! You were the last to know!"

One day, Kaus is going to have an epiphany about his political orientation and... last to know, dude.

But seriously, he is a registered Democrat. If there were more Democrats like him, this country's politics would be a lot better. His pitch probably makes sense to a large number of working- and middle-class Democrats, but the party is owned by those who donate huge sums of money to it -- the Liberal Leisure Class and the unions.
