1. Damn is right

It was so far ahead before the deluge of ads paid for with the $millions the corporations kicked in.

At least Eyman's legalized harassment bill failed though.

2. On Spokane public radio at 9pm it was still in doubt

I'll have to check elections page to see if it is called.

3. The anti-campaign was financed almost entirely -- more than 99% --

by out of state corporate interests.

We were deluged with misleading commercials. It was very discouraging.

5. Yeah! $22 million from Pepsico, Monsanto, and others

Vs. About 7 million for GMO bill. They did the same thing in California. $42 mill. Vs. $9 mill. They know how to step on the cash accelerator when needed, don't they?

4. Damn Damn Damn

I was hoping Washington Could get it done.
What the hell do those commercial say that scares people from voting for GMO labeling

6. I was very worried about it

The commercials were so good that I as a dem didn't know how to vote on it, I couldn't tell if I should vote yes or no.

As a person who pays attention I did some checking and found out I should vote yes on it.

They had nutritionists, doctors, the type of people you trust saying to vote no on it. You had no idea from the ads they were paid for with out of state money.

7. Wow

I don't watch tv much anymore thanks to netflix
It stucks that a 60 second ad has that kind of power over people

[SHRED]

8. Did they do the same thing they did in California...

... and lie to people claiming that their food prices would go up? Even though labels are changed all the time. A little bit of common sense is difficult for many it appears.
