[Sosfbay-discuss] Some jarring stats

[Fred Duperrault]

Based on today's  SF Chronicle's vote counts of the California U.S House 
of Reps. and State Assembly election, I did some totaling - with a 
possible  17%  margin of error. (As yet, no one has checked my arithmetic.)

 > The total number of votes the five California Green Party candidates 
received was 44,612.
   The average was 8,922.

 > The Libertarian Party's twenty one candidates received 240,227 
votes.  They averaged       
    11,438 votes,

 > The Peace and Freedom Party's five candidates received a total of 
35,015. They averaged
    7,003.

 > The two Independents  (Cindy Sheehan and Thomas Lash) received a 
total of 64,793 votes.
    Their average was 32,397.

 > The total number of Independent  and "Third Party" votes  was 384,647.

 > The Libertarian party garnered about 62% of the non-DemoRepub votes.

What can the Green Party of California deduce from these statistics?
