Soon ... some time after the holidays, I'm planning to temporarily abandon my "decline to state" status and signup as a Republican before the primaries. The CA Republican Party does not allow decline-to-state voters to vote in their primaries and I want to throw my vote to Tom Campbell for the Republican nominee for CA governor.
Sure, sure. I don't always agree with Tom's positions -- he and I don't see eye-to-eye on the health care reform debate, f'rex -- but he is a bright guy. Sharp as a tack. He thinks things through. He's amenable to changing his mind when different factors are brought to his attention. (And back when he was my Congress critter, he answered my e-mails at 3A Washington, DC, time when I dropped him notes after midnight California time.)
He listens.
Why would I change my unaffiliated to Republican-affiliated? Because Meg Whitman is the front-runner in current polls and I do =not= want Meg Whitman as the Republican nominee. And Whitman as Governor? Oh, noes! Sure, I could vote in the Democratic Party primary as an unaffiliated voter, but voting there will probably not make a huge difference in which candidate (Jerry Brown, anyone?) is chosen to run.
Tom Campbell is a =much= better choice than Whitman, but knowing the state party, he probably won't make the cut unless Meg really blows it between now and then or enough decline-to-states join (or re-join) the Republican party and vote for Campbell.
Update: For the June 2010 primary, it turns out, decline-to-states CAN vote in the Republican primary =if= you request a Republican ballot, either at your polling place on Election Day, or in advance by contacting your county elections office. Which is what I now plan to do. (Although the push this year to implement the bar failed, the push is still on within the party to bar decline-to-states from voting in future primaries, so be aware.)

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

All the frustration and rage boiling within her poured into the choking bodies around her. Hed tried to get his men to turn back, then, when they wouldnt, to fight. She turned down the wide corridor that stretched past the arched entrance to the gardens. Below her, even more people filed in through the open archway across from her balcony. The thought of lashing out at Brevin, Lanthan, or Tykir fizzled as it occurred. Be proud of what you just accomplished. She finished off her wine and set her goblet aside. Her fingers slid in, unhindered. Nialdlye wore a simple green shift that barely reached her thighs. Tykir sat on the arm of it beside him. She barely restrained the urge to push up and seal her lips to his. The words spilled unbidden from her lips, easier the more she said them. He heaved an overly done martyred sigh. A tiny bud that burst alive when warm lips slid over it. When he slapped her again, she complied, twisting over. She put on her best devious grin. Barefoot and topless, she felt more naked than she had in a long time. My infertility is mine alone, due to my time between realms. I fell in love with you when I was only a shadow in the darkness. He switched his hold as he knelt on the mattress.
Although Irin had a powerful gift, she had not honed it to sorcerer level. He stood still, letting them look their fill as they slowly filed into the room. She couldnt stop staring. They had fought about it too often for Eyrhaen not to know what he meant. Frustration and anger buzzed, blurring her vision.
