Governator going down in flames; hand gun and military bans in SF
by aw yeah, why I love California
Tuesday Nov 8th, 2005 10:55 PM
Arnold's power play seems to be going down with only the anti-labor initiative showing a chance. The initiative from the people who want to define in the CA constitution that a fetus is an unborn child is also going down. The re-regulate electricity (people seem to have forgotten Enron and our big energy f*#koff) and the non-BigPharma drug discount initiatives are going down by big margins. (Big Pharma put over $80 million into defeating the discount initiative and promoting their own to confuse the issue. In SF, the handgun ban and the military recruiting ban are heading for victory.
