I thought he was up in VA?
Yeah. It's a bill that puts more information about their food before consumers. Naturally the agribusiness and food manufacturers are adamantly opposed.
Which one is 30? This is my first time voting in CA, Pennsylvania was not this overwhelming.
I'm voting to ban the death penalty. Haven't really looked at the other ones yet except for the torrent of advertisement on 27.
I think all three states are competitive. I am just asking for the sake of argument if Obama could still realistically win the electoral college if Romney won all three. I think Virginia and Florida right now are leaning towards Romney and Ohio is leaning towards Obama. If Obama and Romney are at about 50-50 come election day there is a much higher chance for this being a state by state race.

I'm sure these food companies would regulate themselves without government interference and oversight.
Surely.

I wish prop 30 didn't have the sales tax component to it.
The President is always elected state-by-state.
I can honestly see both sides on this one. A lot of skepticism toward genetically modified foods strikes me as similar to the paranoia about vaccinating children. Information without understanding won't really advance anything.
On the other hand, transparency is never a bad thing.
30 is the revenue-raising bill.
If it doesn't pass, public sector pensions don't get cut. Prison spending doesn't get cut. Education gets cut to the tune of 6 billion U.S. dollars. The UC system gets a bone-crushing 20% tuition raise. Our priorities are so fucking fucked right now.
I know but if one of them has a "big" lead in the popular vote then he will probably see a bunch of states swing in his direction whereas if they are at 50-50 there is a much higher chance of states going in different directions.

Theyre not bad for you....that we know of.
Thing is, the prop is just a label, theyre not banning it or anything. How is giving consumers more information a bad thing?
And then look at the funding list. Its obvious who you should vote for.
When in doubt, vote against the side with massive funding.
And please vote YES for anything that involves taxes.
Remember, theres a shit ton of people who would vote against a .0000001 tax to save a child from a lava pit because "derp herp taxes bad"
Even if youre iffy....realize youre actually weighing the issue, vs the ideologues.

Speaking of props, there are a lot of california voters on gaf, and the props can get pretty damn confusing.
Who wants to start the best proposition thread ever?

it is funny how important Ohio really is, though. If Obama loses Iowa, he needs to win Colorado, NV, NH, and IOWA to win

1. Holy shit, dude, you must live around the damn corner from me.
2. What? Early voting doesn't start til the 27th.
Absentee ballot.

Tight lead in Ohio - 49-48 - but still walloping among early voters.
Right. The information would probably engender greater confusion without actually benefiting anyone. The provision seems unnecessary. If I resided in CA, I'd vote against it.
Interesting interviews. The media's reporting of polls is awful. It's nice to have a few sane voices out there.

How in the world does it swing that much in a week?

Just filled out about 2/3 of my ballot. I need to research some state and local measures, and the non-partisan local office candidates.
Voted straight Dem, again. I did not used to do so, but the GOP has offered me little alternative.
I can already tell which ballot measures are going to pass and which won't, and it's depressing. (No, we shouldn't eliminate the estate tax on "large estates". Yes, my dipshit town will vote for it.)
Hmm. Not really buying a four-point swing in one week. The state polling there has been very stable for months. At the time of their poll, PPP stood out as being among the most kind to Obama, since most put the race 1-3 points ahead. Feels like regression to the mean here, especially with the early vote lead.

It is going from a +5 to a +1, even if Obama's leading significantly in early voting. Hopefully later polls will be more positive.

I think what the first debate really did was legitimize romney in the mind of a lot of people. He finally seemed like he could be president. I think a lot of support Romney is picking up are people that didn't really feel comfortable with him but lean right. They now see Romney as a viable option.

49-48 is a pretty big drop from before.
I kind of want Obama to lose just to piss in your cheerios

One point lead consistent with three. Look at other polls. Consensus greater than one.

Ohio is looking shaky. I don't believe early voting will save Obama there, as it will in Iowa

If Obama loses Ohio he needs to take Virginia and then can afford to lose a minor state like Nevada, Iowa or New Hampshire. http://www.270towin.com/2012_election_predictions.php?mapid=MzJ
If he loses Ohio and Virginia, Obama needs to sweep the 3 minor states and pick up Colorado. http://www.270towin.com/2012_election_predictions.php?mapid=MzQ
Both scenarios with Wisconsin going to Obama which I guess is a question mark. Of course Florida could end the drama pretty quick on election night.

Did anyone actually believe Obama was five points ahead in Ohio, when the consensus of polls has the race in the 1-3 point range during the same time period?
Haven't you people learned by now to evaluate polls against consensus? I realize the freakout has become routine by now, but good grief people.

It benefits those who have made a decision for themselves not to consume GMOs and want to know what products to avoid. I don't see how it engenders confusion any more than nutritional content does.
Awesome. I hope everybody does.

All the good blue-collar Ohioans will remember how Obama made Hillary feel alone and that he forgot to put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance.Y2Kev said:
