Campaign 2006 - Fred's Left Coast Recommendations

WARNING: The following recommendations are entirely my own. They are based upon various groups recommendations which I have studiously examined and digested. Along with this, I have added some salt from my own brow in searching for the truth with a lamp until all hours of the night. I have also taken the time to meet some of these candidates and my experiences with them have also been added to the aforementioned volatile mixture. As some icing, I have added my own opinions and some humor stolen from various talk radio personalities.
