First of all — if Clark tries to primary Joni, he’s crazy. She’s a solid rep and a good Dem, and many people will come out to support her. Clark needs to take a chill pill or forty.

Secondly — Crit’s another one that I would support in a heartbeat. As far as I can tell, she has been a solid contributor to the state and to good government.

Finally — Mary Lou, good on ya! I don’t think the bill has a chance of passing — BUT, things are changing all over, even in Kain-tuck-ee. Maybe the vote would be closer than last time, even a lot closer, and that would be a Good Thing.

Hmm … I must have a thing for strong women. :-)

Realistically, it’s a waste of time. But anything is possible.

And it’s nice to see someone stand up for equality.

Nice contrast… of Larry Clark, who has decided to turn into a nasty gay-hater… and Gary Tapp… and Daniel Mongiardo…

Realistically … what do you think the chances are of Marzian’s amendment being approved by the voters?

I don’t remember the exact numbers by which the 2004 amendment passed, but I’d venture to guess that Marzian’s amendment would fail on the ballot by similar numbers. If the original vote was 75-25 (and like I say, I don’t remember for certain) I’d say Marzian’s amendment would fail 30-70. While there may be sentiment among some of the more liberal Democratic legislators and officials for repealing the amendment, I don’t see the same sentiment among the statewide electorate. Far from it, in fact.
