Opinion: California needs a Common Sense Party: Tom Campbell
Last Tuesday’s election shows the compelling need for a new political party in California. California follows the “top two” system for all legislative races: candidates run at the same time, and the top two vote-getters, regardless of party, qualify for the final round in November. The system is more like a two-step run-off than a party primary.
The California Democratic Party can support one or the other of the Democratic finalists in these ten races. It will likely not give to both; that would be a waste when a Democrat would be elected anyway. Why give to either? The reason is to insure that, of the two Democrats, the candidate more loyal to the party wins.
In the ten Democrat-versus-Democrat races without a 50% vote-getter already established, the California Democratic Party will decide which one of the two finalists to support on the basis of loyalty on matters most important to the party.
