saying they would not vote for Pat Brown because Brown was the "lesser of 2 evils."

I wonder which evil Republican thought up that phrase. The zillionaires should have paid the person well because it helped George W Bush get in the White House. And it's being used against Hillary Clinton now and will be used against her if she is the Democratic nominee.

If enough people had voted for the "lesser of 2 evils" in 1966 and in 2000, the middle class would be so much stronger today and no Americans would have died in Iraq.
