Thanks,

Arnold is supporting 74 - 78.

I think it is safe to say most of us are also supporting 73.

I think conservatives are pulling for YES on 73, 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78.

[Chuck54]

Thanks.

[FairOpinion]

75 is passing, both 78 & 79 are going down!

Great news.

As I said on another thread, of all the props, 75 was the most important, it diminishes the unions power.

If it passes despite the $100+ million the unions spent on trying to defeat it, that's very good news indeed.

[11th_VA]

I'm cautiously optimistic from those results ...

[skaterboy]

75 DOWN ARE ALL PASSING
76 UP ARE GOING DOWN

TOO BAD LOOKS LIKE A SPILIT TICKET

76 TOO DAMN BAD...I GUESS THEY LOVE THEIR UNIONS

[writer33]

Let's go Californians.

Another thread...

[dan1123]

If 74 and 75 don't pass, California has no hope of recovery. The public unions own the state and will bleed it dry.

[Parley Baer]

If only 75 passes I will be one happey camper.

75 was the most important, it diminishes the unions power.

Mark my words, the legislature will NOT allocate any money to enforce it, even if it passes ...

[BibChr]

Conservatives seem all to be for 73-77, divided on 78, against 80. I voted no on 78.
