One of the most important votes in this most interesting of elections doesn’t offer a choice between two candidates for office. Instead, it’s a policy referendum that gives voters the chance to decide between two competing visions of government. The vote on California’s Proposition 23 will decide whether the state’s government can impose a draconian tax on all economic activity in response to activists’ dreams, or, instead, recognize that public policy must first acknowledge reality.
Suggesting a true cultural shift, Republicans voting in this year’s primary elections outnumbered Democrats by four million, the first time the GOP has outdrawn the Dems in statewide primaries in the last eighty years.
