In California, It's All About The Props

Come on, a Republican Presidential Candidate hasn't won California since Ronald Reagan and Osama and McRage don't even pretend to care about the Golden State.

That said, all that we have left here are local politics and...oh yeah, those Propositions. Us Californians have to slog through dozens of them it seems. Sometimes, we keep voting on the same ones over and over.

Take Prop 22 back in 2000, the Bush / Gore year. While everyone in the "real world" was counting chads, we were making marriage just between a man and a woman. Thank goodness no sheep or other animals were OK. Seriously, though, this was a huge thing to keep things the way they have been for all time. At least for 61% of Californians.

Now, we are having to do this all over again. We have Prop 8 on the ballot. We'll discuss more as we go on. Only a week to go, so hold on!
