Cons fail to gather enough signatures in California.

Just heard on NPR that the initiative to divide California's electoral votes will not make it to a ballot. Looks like they're going to have to steal votes from somewhere else.

1. Best news all day

So much horror to fight off.

2. As they say in Texas

Yeehaw!

3. I heard that yesterday, but BEWARE of November!

I really hope they fail then too, but they're going to keep trying!

I think it would be fine if it were done nationwide! either Party should be permitted to cherrypick the states though!

10. If they get it on in November

it will lose, as the Democrats flock to vote for (insert name here) over (insert Republican here).

They were hoping to get it on the ballot for June when next to no one would be voting.

8. Props to Doctor Dean and California Dems

for working against it as quickly as they did....and not ever turning their backs on those thieves, like that rat rep, Daryll Issa, or the gangsters invovled from Ghouliani's campaign committee.

9. Great news.

11. They'll probably resort to vote caging like they do in Florida, Ohio and elsewhere. It seems to

work wonderfully for stealing close elections.

12. Awesome!

I figured it probably wouldn't get anywhere when even Schwarzenegger called it out as a blatant power grab. Then again, the fact that we even have a Gov. Schwarzenegger has taught me to never rule anything out in this state...
