Dual mind

"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC, because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home, and killed Americans."
-- McCain campaign robocall currently being made in Nevada, Wisconsin and at least twelve other targeted states

I'm partly amused that the McCain campaign thinks this kind of nonsense actually works in today's political climate.

But mostly I'm kinda scared that it does.

Oregon Votes!

With the Oregon ballots soon to be mailed out, I thought I'd take a look at some of the measures being proposed. I haven't done any research on any of these other than read what's in the voter's guide (which, by the way, can be found online here.

Here, in brief, is my initial impression of each. If I've overlooked anything, let me know. Especially if you think I'm wrong.

( May be of some interest to Oregon residents )

So, unless I hear otherwise from anyone here, that's how I'm voting. What are your thoughts? As I said, I'd love to hear them, seriously. I haven't had time this year to do as much research as I really like to, so opinions of someone who've done more would be welcome.

If you've done even less research, feel free to copy the list down and take it to the polls with you. Because, after all, if you're just going to blindly follow someone else's opinion in the election, it might as well be mine.
For the record, in summary, that's:
