It's mighty nice to see an out of stater who sees thru the gimmickry Californian politicians love to indulge themselves in as they make voters do the work the politicians were elected to do.
See ya tomorrow night.

Hope for a good day in California, if not great day (unfortunately, I'm sure a few of these propositions will fail no matter who will turn out. But I do hope for quite a few to pass).
TEXAS: Proposition 2 defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman only.
VOTE YES!!!
YES on 73, 74, 75, 76, 77. NO on 78, 79, 80.
I voted at 6:05AM in Virginia this morning. I estimate that I was the 50th person to vote - I'd call it "steady". My area's heavily GOP.
Pulled the lever for Doug this morning while holding the barf bag. "Go Doug!"
GO DOUG GO!
I voted early this morning here in occupied (Northern Virginia), I was number 37. Kilgore for sure; Kline is just another liberal Democrat Catholic-in-name-only like that carpetbagger Kerry. Hope Kilgore will get enough votes in real Virginia to cancel the heavily Democrat Northern VA suburbs of DC.
NJ......NO ON BOTH REFERENDUM
REPUBLICAN ACROSS THE BOARD
Ohio:
Hell No on 1-5.
Although since there's no "Hell No" option on the ballot...a simple "no" will suffice!
In Ohio, #4 will fail. #5 is a coin toss. 2 and 3 look poised to pass.
Bump for later
I'm voting the following:
73 (Parental notification before abortion)

74 (Teacher tenure restrictions)

75 (No union dues spent on politics without permission)

76(STATE SPENDING AND SCHOOL FUNDING LIMITS)

77 (redistricting by retired judges)
