CA politics is in the tank...hopeless,deadlocked. both sides have shot their shots and nobody cares because it all comes off as expensive lies. Campaign spots are slick,well financed... and confusing... with all sides calling each other liars.
Is a "Yes " vote a yes? Or a "no"? This could be a stinker of an election.

It is very easy to get "un-confused", just see who is supporting which side.

See my links in post 12, then add to it, that Moveon.org is going to start running ads AGAINST the propositions, and Angelides, the Dem candidate for governor just wrote an open letter, urging people to vote NO.

Open letter from Phil Angelides (opposing Schwarzenegger and the Propositions)

"On November 8th, Californians can put a stop to what Schwarzenegger started by joining Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein and me in voting NO on Propositions 73 – 77 and defeating the governor’s attempt to bring the Bush agenda to California. Then we can unite to put California back on the path to hope and prosperity.
Phil Angelides "

Liberal groups (MOveon.org) try to link special election to broader GOP agenda

"A spinoff group from the liberal political advocacy organization Moveon.org is seeking to link Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's special election initiatives with President Bush and a national Republican agenda.

Its television commercial is scheduled to begin airing Tuesday on CNN in major media markets.

Moveon.org's presence in the special election marks a rare appearance by a prominent national group in what has been a largely California-centered campaign."
