Vip Bhola (Republican). Not a bad statement of issues, but in the end it's rather uncommital. He doesn't say anything that makes him stand out, for good or ill, and I think that's a disadvantage for an unknown.

John W. Beard (Republican). Basic Republican ideals -- run California more like a business, make California more business friendly, cut down government and get rid of the unnecessary parts. Again, nothing that yells out "I'm the right candidate" to me.

Ed Beyer (Republican). Tax credits for businesses, target fraud in state welfare programs, consolidate redundant state departments, reform Workers Compensation, protect class size restrictions in schools, enfore our borders, clean air and water for California. Maybe I've been reading too many of these, but I don't see enough of a difference between candidates.

John Christopher Burton (Independent). Actually, Socialist Equality Party. Transform large corporations and banks into publicly owned utilities. ==> So why don't these small Socialist parties band together?

B. E. Smith (Independent). No web site.

David Ronald Sams (Republican). I was going to read his issues but noticed that he keeps referring to Governor Davis as Grayout Davis. Such disrespect does not warrant support. Nice looking wife though.
Jamie Rosemary Safford (Republican). No web site.

Lawrence Steven Strauss (Democrat). Kind of detailed but an awful looking web site. Nothing that really stands out in terms of issues. I guess I need to start looking more at qualifications because everybody more or less sounds the same, except for the Socialist wackos.

George B. Schwartzman (Independent). Hey, has a California flag! Basically Republican in his financial philosophy. Don't like his proposed revamp of the University of California system. More laws to govern HMOs. Passenger rail system. Blah blah blah. A mix of Democratic and Republican ideals. But not the same mix that I have.

Mike Schmier (Democrat). Lots of words, few concrete actions. Poor guy caught me in a blah mood apparently.

Darrin Scheidle (Democrat). Stop cutting back on education budget. More police and fire fighters. Desalination plants. Repeal Car Tax. Manipulate prices to favor California-made products. ==> Hey, I like desalination plants because we need water, even not great tasting water.

Christopher Sproul (Democrat). No on Recall. "Smart Growth" which upon reading looks like Green Party ideals to me. Nice ideals but right now our economy is the biggest problem.
