In CA Prop 8 must be defeated. Many other initiatives could be doomed or pass if you Californianos don't vote because you think Obama has it in the bag. We could lose our state. Get out and vote!!!!

1. I'm not gay or interested in marriage of any variety, hell, I don't even live in CA
but Prop. 8 is more important to me than the Presidential election.

4. I'm not gay either, I'm just afraid this Prop will pass by default
because Obama will appear to be so far ahead. I don't want our constitution changed to disenfranchise anyone!!! I think we need to think of Obama as 3 points down and act accordingly.

5. I wouldn't go that far, but it's pretty damn important.

2. I was just thinking that I need to find out when my daughter
wants to vote so I can babysit for her.

My husband and I vote absentee and we plan to fill out the ballots (already here) this weekend.

Yes on Obama. No on 8.

3. Who's not going to vote?
Not anybody here, I'm sure. We've been waiting for this for too long. Actually, I've already voted and I can't imagine a DUer not voting in this election. You may be preaching to the choir, but I get your drift.
