Just kidding. San Francisco? Interesting.
Trailing Bush in the polls? We?ve heard this before and often. On Tuesday we had the benefit of something more meaningful than a poll. Voters went to the polls and actually cast several million ballots to choose their favorite candidate out of a field of 21 possibilities. And, while I haven?t seen it reported anywhere, George W. Bush in that primary election received 185,000 more votes than John Kerry received in his so-called ?landslide victory.?
California has a ?modified? open Primary system, which permits those who refuse to state a party preference to vote for a person of their choice in a primary. If they are registered as a party member, they can only get a ballot for their party?s candidate. Of course, when there is only one candidate running, most voters don?t bother to take the time to vote. To my surprise, on Tuesday with 100% of the precincts reporting, the actual winner of the Primary race turned out to be George W. Bush. Bush received 1,949,761 votes to John Kerry?s 1,764,446 votes. So far, I have not read a single story on the California Primary race that mentions the actual vote. George W. Bush received 185,315 more votes than John Kerry received in his ?landslide victory.?
