Queen Christine's head just got lopped off. She, and the entire Olympia Establishment, betted their political capital on it, and now, if they go absolutely nuts attacking it and dump money against it, they might only lose 60-40.

Not this time. They already did everything they could. Passed the bill at the end of the session, put an emergency clause on it so we couldn't have a referendum, tried to stall the initiative in court, etc.

They don't have any outs. The only thing they can do is try to pass it again next year, but I don't think ANY legislator outside of Freemont would be safe if they did that. They arent that stupid.

I suppose so, but it's not gonna be hard.

If they throw $50,000,000 against it, they might keep it below 60%. They can't beat it.

Bump for victory! Almost 200,000 more signatures collected than were necessary to qualify for the ballot!

Take that GregGore, you bitch.

After 1,678 ILLEGAL votes, the ugly old crone is NOT my Governor!

Assuming the brain-dead lefties in Kings County vote for lower taxes. That'll be the day.

A. They probably will, actually. KC is goofy.

B. Doesn't matter. The other counties will be easily 60-40 for repealing it, usually more.


The truth is, that when you have asked in initiative form, if the voters wanted lower taxes, they have voted yes EVERY SINGLE TIME, with the exception of one initiative that cut taxes through allowing more slot machines in off-reservation Casino's so the religious right voted against it. But when it is a straight up tax cut, the voters have ALWAYS voted yes. in modern history.

This will pass easily. It'll pass 65-35 if the groups decide not to fight it, it'll still pass with well over 55% of the vote if they do fight it.
