"A new poll, conducted by a Democratic and Republican polling firm in partnership with George Washington University, suggests voters would be overwhelmingly more likely to go to the polls if they could vote on a ballot measure to legalize marijuana, something Democrats may want to keep in mind as they work to boost turnout."

1. Perfect test to see if Dem elites really want to win the next round.

2. Already noted. We have MM on the ballot here in Florida.

And I'm looking forward to some changes in the legislature, not to mention governor.

3. This could be the left's answer to the 'abortion' red herrings the RW used...

the last several cycles. They propped up meaningless religious BS to GOTV. We should have an issue like this one to do the same.

Problem is, its late in the game to get initiatives on the ballots.

Listen carefully Jerry Brown. If there is someone who leans left and is for MJ legalization, you are toast Moonbeam.
