I could easily write another 5 articles tonight, but I figure I’ve already written a good deal too much. But before going to bed, I wanted to list how I’m most likely going to vote tomorrow.
President: Jill Stein (But I still support President Obama for re-election and I may vote for him in the end anyway.)
US Senator: Dianne Feinstein (I’m not happy about this but there is no choice.)
US Representative: Mike Thompson
State Assembly 2nd District: Wesley Chesbro (I really like Tom Lynch, but California is in too bad a spot to go with him right now.)
Santa Rosa City Council: Banuelos, Carlstrom, Combs, Wysocky
Prop 30: Yes
Prop 31: No
Prop 32: No
Prop 33: No
Prop 34: Yes
Prop 35: No (This just sounds like one of those laws that will be applied in ways no one voting for it imagined. See Prop 36.)
Prop 36: Yes
Prop 37: Yes
Prop 38: No (This is a regressive tax and is only on the ballot to kill Prop 30.)
Prop 39: Yes (“It will hurt the Job Creators!” Any argument based on this myth should be ignored.)
Prop 40: NV (I’m not keen on this whole issue and given no one is opposing it and I don’t know enough, I’m not voting.)
County School Board Area 4: Lisa Wittke Schaffner
City High School Board: Laura Gonzalez, Donna Jeye (Not: Larry Haenel, Brian Noble)
City Q: Yes (Smaller represented bodies are best.)
City R: Yes (I hate binding arbitration, but this looks like something worth trying.)
City S: Yes (Why was I even asked?)
City T: Yes (Ditto.)
Have fun tomorrow. I know I will! (At least until the results come in.)
Frank, are you as nervous as I am about tonight? I know Obama is the favorite, but stranger things have happened. I’m preparing myself for the worst.
Man, I really hope Obama wins. I wish I could vote! Damn procrastination.
