Hmmmm....you forget that the state legislature is of the communist kind. Better take 78 than risk them passing a law that makes prop 79 look like it was written by Forbes.
What the hell kind of strategy is that? Voting both of them down will tell the legislature that the public isn't in the mood for any of that kind of nonsense. Voting for one of them will tell the legislature that the public is in a mood to "compromise".
