Orphan Road

Okay, so I guess we're a go for a 2008 vote. Ben's done a great liveblog of the ST board meeting.

Meanwhile Erica Barnett is demanding apologies, which seems ridiculously premature. Let's wait until this fall's ballot passes, shall we? I personally supported last year's Prop. 1 because I thought it was a compromise that stood a good chance of passing. I'm cautiously optimistic about this new proposition, but it's far from a sure thing. We can't count on Obama voters alone -- tens of thousands of whom will probably split the ticket and vote for Rossi -- to save us.

Victory is far from assured.

Now let's get to work.
