ParticipantWhat part of town are you looking in?
When my wife and I bought in La Jolla last fall. Another Pig recommended Drew Nelson, and after interviewing several realtors we went with him. Found him to be very professional and our purchase went well. If you’re looking in La Jolla or nearby areas such as Pacific Beach, I’d highly recommend him. Reach Drew at

Participant[quote=aldante]
Dr. Paul has run as a third party candidate before and as such probably has a unique experience. …snip… He says that the most pragmatic approach should be to change the parties from within. [/quote]Aldante,
I have always admired Dr Paul, if nothing else because of the honesty of his convictions. I often differ with him about things but at least he’s honestly trying to find solutions, and not just mouthing a bunch of meaningless platitudes like so many politicians.
But, I’m afraid that I’ve lost most of my belief that someone like myself can make any difference to the Dems or Repubs. Maybe if I was willing to commit lots of time to be actively involved with a party I could influence a few local issues slightly. But on the grander scale, I’m afraid I don’t see it. (Of course on the grand scale voting for third parties isn’t likely to change anything either.)

Participant[quote=briansd1]Partisanship is part of the human herding instinct, I believe. We want to pick a team we belong to.[/quote]
Yes, I agree. And what’s more people like to pick the team that is winning. Thus if a candidate gets out in front in the polls, they are hard to dislodge because voters seeing that other voters like this candidate are more likely to support the candidate.
[quote=briansd1]
If you love politics, and sports, I’m sure that you’re very partisan. And I suspect that you’re on the right.
[/quote]Don’t follow your logic here. While it may be your experience that people who like politics and sports are likely to be partisan I think that’s a generalization at best, and a blatant stereotype at worst.
As to myself, I don’t particularly like sports. What I said is that politics is more entertaining than a football game, not that I like football games. Neither do I consider myself partisan. When I was in my 20’s I was a staunch democrat who always voted the party ticket. As I got more experienced in the world I realized the shortcomings of that strategy. Now in my 50’s I’ve voted for both Repubs and Dems over the years, and I’ve been registered libertarian more than any other party, but can’t say that I support any party in any way these days. Given that I’m an anti-war, pro-choice, atheist, who’s rooting for the legalization of pot, I think you missed your mark with suspecting I’m “on the right”. (Although I think anyone thinking I’m “on the left” would be equally wrong.)
