  •  Prop 73 polling and others (none / 1)

       I've seen recent polls that showed 73 either running about even (46-46)or a bit behind (42-48). If we get some people to turn out we will win it because usually ballot measures lose support as people focus on them leading up to voting. Also the No on 73 campaign will be running TV spots in a couple of days. You can get more information at www.NoonProposition73.org . I also urge us Californians to work hard on GOTV, because the Yes on 73 campaign is a stealth campaign using churches as support bases. (They have spent little money, but have the Greedy Old Party endorsement as well.) 73 is supposed to be the one that drives the right-wing to the polls. I also wonder about 78 and 79 (prescription drugs).  If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on everything on the ballot losing. I'm voting YES on 79, and also 80 (but with less enthusiasm) and Yes on Y (the LAUSD school bond).

    •  I've seen a good anti-73 ad (none / 0)

      the past week, having some mom say that she would encourage her daughter to speak to her, but doesn't want to force her or it would lead to some back-alley abortion or suicide.  ("For the safety of our daughters.")  I haven't seen any pro-73 ads, but maybe I'm not watching the right GOP-centered programming.

    •  More 73 (none / 0)

      You're right, it IS a stealth proposition... From what I understand, the language in 73 defines a fetus as being a person from the point of conception.  They're trying to stick this in our state Constitution.  It's outrageous.
