1. Doesn't matter. Macpherson is RUSHING RUSHING RUSHING to get the
new e-voting machines online!

Hey, we've got 'em, lets use 'em, right?

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that they will turn in particularly unexpected high returns in favor of Arnold's propositions, particularly the centerpiece- Prop. 77, the redistricting GOP POWER GRAB.

4. I know he's unpopular with actual, human voters
It's the phantom electronic ones, ushered in under the auspices of our Diebold-Friendly "replacement" SOS that I don't trust.

5. I don't trust them either, but they don't want a Staples riot either
There are LOT of very pissed off people in this state, a lot of whom are coiled to go off.

3. None from October
Public Policy Institute's numbers from last month are the only set I can find:
* Proposition 74 (teacher tenure), 43% yes, 47% no
* Proposition 76 (spending and funding limits), 26% yes, 63% no
* Proposition 77 (redistricting), 33% yes, 50% no
* Proposition 78 (prescription drug discounts), 43% yes, 38% no
* Proposition 79 (prescription drug discounts), 34% yes, 40% no

http://www.ppic.org/main/publication.asp?i=637

Prop 78 is big Pharma prop; prop 79 is the more consumer friendly one.
From what I recall Prop 73 (parental notification) trending towards passage, and no one seems to be talking about # for Prop 80 (utility regulation.)
