32. Did you say "LESS motivated"?
Yes, I hate my DU name...but that's what I was born with...

I completely disagree that this will make voters less motivated. The biggest problem we have in this country is low voter turnout. Part of the reason for this is that the media tells "us" who is winning before "we" even vote. I've wasted more time recently convincing Democrats that these polls are bullshit. The other reason for low voter turnout is the negative overload that voters get when their state is "in play". Voters get real turned off with politics during the election cycle...sick of the ads....sick of it all.

I think A36 is the greatest thing since the invention of the light bulb. Even if the "polls" show Kerry ahead on 11/1 in Colorado I'm still voting for it.

If you haven't already, you can read my argument(s) for A36 on our State Forum thread....
