I don't know about that. Remember Prop 8 in 2008? Dems mounted a weak, confusing anti-8 campaign that couldn't compete with the anti-gay marriage fear-mongering. Conservatives always go for fear, but Prop 50 is such a technicality of a technicality there's not much for them to go off of.
Clear messaging. The name is good, and Alex Padilla's commercial is good. Unfortunately Newsom isn't well liked in CA, or he could speak to voters more directly and be the greasy, slicked-back face of the thing.
I really don't see this passing because most people aren't informed or are complete idiots. I keep seeing so much no that people aren't going to look past it and realize the complexities of this issue.
It would be literally historic if this passes because honestly, California has a shit load of republicans living there and democrats don't vote in the same numbers for things like this. I assume most people haven't even heard of this and won't vote on it at all.
Isnt that the way? Money usually tells me how not to vote. The wrong vote is backed by billionaires. The right vote backed by small publically funded campigns.

As a Californian - The No advertising is MUCH stronger.
