With our top two primary system, the future is going to be very interesting. Some people think Poizner’s run as an independent for insurance commissioner might be a preview of the future (especially with independents now outnumbering Republicans). But Poizner was a Republican who held statewide office before, he has the network you need to run a campaign in a state this large with three very expensive media markets.

As I’ve said before, I am so not a fan of the jungle primary. So what happens if 10 D’s run and 2 R’s run — and each D gets 8% of the total vote while each R gets 10%. So the 2 R’s will be in the election, even though 80% favored D? Although this is an unlikely scenario, it is certainly possible.
