No. But looking at the election results, it would have made no difference. This is one of those times I felt it wasn't worth the bother. I felt the same way in 2002. As a conservative, why bother when the deck is stacked against you? Its not like the people of this state agree with my views.

It looks like about 1,000,000 other Californians felt the same way you do. Forgive me for being blunt, but if you didn't vote, you have surrendered your right to criticize anything that happens in your state. Not voting is the same as voting for the winner.

My thoughts exactly.

Yes, that's for sure. What the heck was up with my fellow conservatives in this state? We were beat County for County when it came to turnouts!

I just cannot believe that something THIS important to the state couldn't stoke the fires of my fellow conservatives. It really sickens me.

When your taxes are raised, when new strange and wacky laws are passed (special taxes on crucifixes, and tax rebates for sex toys) don't complain unless you vote. Even if the odds are against you, you still have a fighting chance in this state if you can mobilize.
