With the election just 20 days away, the emails are flooding in from the campaigns, some noteworthy enough to share. Today's tidbits:

* The Proposition 19 campaign reports that its Facebook page now has 200,000 fans of the initiative to legalize marijuana. By comparison, Meg Whitman has 155,000 and Jerry Brown has 88,000.

* The Proposition 21 campaign is launching a contest inviting people to produce "fun" videos to highlight their support for state parks, and the initiative that would establish an $18 vehicle license fee surcharge to support them. Winner gets a $5,000 prize. Information at the campaign website.

* Ventura County Democrats are hosting a fundraising Halloween party Oct. 30 at a Camarillo estate they describe as "spooky." Complete with costumes and rock-blues band.

* The insurance industry has contributed $1.1 million in recent days to the California Chamber of Commerce's PAC, which in turn is funding an independent expenditure campaign on behalf of Republican insurance commissioner candidate Mike Villines.

Yes, it is the sugar. Drinking darker liquors in general will make you sicker.It is always best to mix your darker alcohol with white mix (ie whiskey and sprite). Best yet is to stick with white alcohol and white mixer. Stay away from a lot of the sugary drinks.

I take pleasure in the commentary on this site, it definitely gives it that community sense!

Over the last 25 presidential elections, Ventura County voters have backed the winner 24 times, or over 95 percent of the time. It is one of only a handful of counties in the nation that has been such a predictable bellwether.
