Per @fivethirtyeight, high Dem/youth turnout for marijuana-legalization prop “could save Barbara Boxer – and the Democratic Senate with it.” (heh heh, “high” turnout, get it, heh heh) … A 50-50 Senate thanks to potheads? I love it. LOL.

The Libertarians also believe in legalizing marijuana, and most of them vote Republican.
Yes, but the thinking is that folks who tend to vote Republican were motivated to vote anyway, whereas folks who tend to vote Democrat were not. In California, though, the polls show little evidence of this “enthusiasm gap,” with pro-legalization youth/Dems being a likely reason.
So that’s 15 more votes for Meg Whitman.
You also have to remember that most stoners do not vote. (too much effort)
The marijuana ballot proposition has actually been pretty low key out here so far, with most people assuming it will pass. Marijuana has already been effectively legalized already anyway. A medical marijuana card is extremely easy to get and there are dozens of vendors who will delivery the product to your door in every city.
This is the part where my dad jumps in with: “We forgot where we put the petitions, maaan…”
Curse you, Brendan Loy: you’re right! 🙂 There’ll be noooo pre-emptive Strikes upon yer Fadduh. Fie. :> Actually it’s George Carlin (RIP) who said it but I happily Stole it. / Well, let’s hope the High turner-outers can Remember the route to the polling place. ;}
Hmmm … I wonder how well the “Get Out Reggae Vote !” campaign will work in San Francisco …
(innocent grin)
The sober masses have been telling me that if the pot prop passes the feds will prevent it from going into state law. Remember we the Californians “legalized it” back in the 90s and the next day the state government let us know that we couldn’t do that.
