Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

SF Chronicle political writer John Wildermuth has an insightful piece in today's online edition, talking about how Green Party candidate Peter Miguel Camejo and Independant candidate Arianna Huffington made their points during the just-concluded recall campaign.
Peter Camejo isn't going to be California's next governor, but the Green Party candidate wasn't a loser in Tuesday's election.

Camejo finished well behind Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante on the replacement side of the recall ballot, but he and independent Arianna Huffington -- who dropped out of the race with about a week to go -- ended up with a bigger audience than they ever expected.

After being frozen out of the debates during last year's governor's race, Camejo, 63, an investment manager, had a chance to share the platform with the other leading candidates this time out.

In the campaign's Sacramento debate, one of the most-watched political tussles in California history, Camejo came across as an articulate advocate for his party's left-of-center positions.
I was delighted to see Camejo and Huffington participating in the debates and actively campaigning. Only good can come from additional choice in an election.
