A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

[Gn2Dlnd]

If it passes I'll be at Santa Monica and San Vicente tomorrow, marching towards the Mormon Temple in Westwood.

If I can get a couple thousand friends to join me, that is.

We didn't get arrested during the AB101 marches, I doubt that a peaceful, i.e., no destruction of property, march would get us arrested now.

Nice, easy, beginner protest march, straight down Santa Monica Blvd. and back. I'm thinking 4 or 5 in the evening. Fvcks up traffic all kinds of ways. "You don't like being stuck in traffic? Go home and tell your wife!"

A friend of mine texted me to say he and a pal went around town last night and removed about 60 Yes on 8 signs. Says his hands are dirty.

I've been tempted to do the same, but have always resisted. Yet I can't say I wasn't tickled to learn of this. So I texted back, "But your soul is clean."


He responded that, in all seriousness, his hands were covered in this oily gunk that coats the signposts, and was really hard to get off.

I wrote back, "Yes, but still easier to remove than the stain on some people's hearts."


We have Mormon friends in common. Le sigh.

Someone stuck a Yes on 8 sign on our office property. I got to take it down. It felt good to crumple it up.

And now a Jeep with Yes on 8 signs all over it is driving around my business park honking an air horn for attention.

I love it, I drove Missy to her program this morning and there was a long row of 'yes on 8' signs...and someone had gone thru and did the big red circle with the slash on each and every one!

OC Voter turn out way down.

What a surprise! The Orange County Registrar says as of 3 p.m. only 28 percent of those eligible to vote have gone to the polls here. If you turn the calendar back to the last general election in 2004, there was a turnout of 44 percent at the same time of day. The comparisons mean either there will be a huge rush this evening, or voters in the OC have become suddenly complacent.

The oddity is that we saw dozens of folks driving to the Registrar's Santa Ana office this morning as if hell or high water couldn't keep them from voting.

What's it all mean?

We'll know better after the absentee ballots are counted at 8 p.m. Those voters tend to skew conservative, so let' s wait and see which way the political winds are blowing once the polls close.

GET OUT AND VOTE IF YOU LIVE IN OC!

Unless you are voting yes on 8, in which case your election is tomorrow

[JWBear]

I just got back from voting. (I left work early at 3:30.) A very short line at our polling place - about 4-5 people in front of us.

[innerSpaceman]

Yep, OC voters please stay home. Your Selfish Conservative Ways of Rule are Over (for now), so go hide in your McMansions and don't come out till January 20.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Too late, but I found this kind of chilling.

[Gemini Cricket]

This is early but....

Yes: 57%
No: 43%
