NO ON EIGHT AHEAD
Good news from the Field Poll, one of the most reliable polls in California.
This is closer than anyone would want but, a few weeks ago, other polls had it tied or No losing. Yes winning.
Yes means they ban same sex marriage.
The ads from the Mormon run/funded campaign have been vicious and, incidentally, divisive within the Mormon church. Are they a church? At least a tabernacle.
So, we are on the comeback.
"No on 8" is hyper organized (it's 'the gays' after all--we ran everything except 'the jocks' in high school). They have raised a lot of money that almost matches the extreme fund raising of the Yes-ers.
We have neighborhood canvassing.
Not as hyper organized as Obama but almost.
It is a good sign anyway. We were worried.
