Thanks. I was afraid of that.

In truth it would be nice if our districts were revised to allow for a more fair representation. In this climate, that’s a near impossibility.

If the initiative had merit, Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be for it. That should have been my first tip-off.

There is a mixed bag of supporters. On the Pro-side, they have some support from the ACLU, Common Cause, and other lefty groups. But then again, they have Coupal and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assoc, also. Arnie and Lockyer are on the pro-side—but so is McClintock.

Likewise, on the NO-on-11 side, you have a bunch of Democratic clubs opposing it and a host of non-partisan folks. The CA GOP has “no position” on the measure.

This thread had some good comments, and prior threads keyworded as “Prop 11”
