I'd urge a yes on Prop 2. Don't know what all the others are.

ETA: Should'a known that would be an x-post. Here's a brief explanation of what it is, to sneak some useful content in: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Being a blue state, I'm guessing the urban cores, especially LA, must dominate the vote.

Except the densely populated Orange County area is heavily Republican. It produced Ronald Reagan.

Also the Inland Empire (center stripe of the state, originally all farmland) is more conservative, and the outer edges of the state (points north and southeast) can get contrarian and liberterian.

Can someone tell me what Palin means by the media filter? Like at her stump speeches she will say she is glad to be out from under the media filter, but how is the media filtering her? in interviews can't she just say what she wants? or is her campaign just so far from reality that they are just blaming figureheads "media" "liberal elite" for things regardless of any truth?

Like what was she going on about today, saying Obama flip-flopping on taxes?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like at her stump speeches she will say she is glad to be out from under the media filter, but how is the media filtering her? in interviews can't she just say what she wants?

The liberal media wants to ask her questions! That some times have factual answers! That she may or may not know! Gotcha journalism! Fake american elite journalists! aodifga;lfjsl [qerjalkf

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And let us not forget, the liberal media is annoying.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

"You'll live a happy and carefree life

Whatever that means.

My default is generally no unless I really understand all the permutations and possibilities.

Vague language like this: "Exceptions made for transportation, rodeos, fairs, 4-H programs, lawful slaughter, research and veterinary purposes" is nobody's friend. Also, why is The Chronicle against it?

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I drove through a number of neighborhoods on my way to do chores today and was pleased to note that the Obama/Biden yard signs outnumbered McCain/Palen by at least 9 to 1. In fact, there was at least a mile long stretch of only Obama signs. But, I did see two signs for Nader/Gonzales! Not in yards, though, in the median strip between lanes of a large boulevard. Hey, if you can't commit to putting them in your yard, why bother?
