in this red part of the state. Interesting how they've gone about it. There have been no political ads per se but the local TV "news" outlets are featuring all the usual suspects (Chief of Police, Sheriff, Mayor, etc.) extolling the dangers of passing Prop. 19.

I think it will be fascinating to see how Prop. 19 fares in the reddest parts of the state. I honestly believe there are a lot of in-the-closet proponents. We'll see.
