Although everyone on this thread is having fun commenting on Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Gary Copeland and his Druidic religion, no one seems to appreciate the practical political consequences.

Remember, this is California. And a lot of Californians have positive feelings towards Druids and Wiccans (and anybody else who's "unconventional"). And of those who are so favorably inclined, I'd venture to guess that a much higher percentage are Democrats than Republicans. And a lot of those Democrats are rather disenchanted with Gray Davis, but they could never bring themselves to vote for Bill Simon.

So for all of you Bill Simon fans, wouldn't it be nice if a substantial number of potential Davis votes went instead to Gary Copeland? This is a case in which the Libertarian could easily end up siphoning off far more Democratic votes than Republican votes. Perhaps you should all be thinking of ways to promote Gary's candidacy (in a well-targeted fashion).

Most of Marin County would go for the Druid.
