Higgy –
You and your wife should and will vote as you please, which is your right.
IMO, it would be too bad for the rest of us if the stated reason that anyone decides to vote no on Prop 19 is because the federal government is having a hissy fit.
It is clear the panic button has been hit (“Hey, this thing may actually win?!?”). Out trot the current/former drug czars and cadre of other political whores (thanks, Jerry, for helping me find the right word to describe you guys) to explain how they know better than us mush-minds, and they promise to keep arresting and ruining the lives of people for their own good (both meanings intended).
Since they believe most Americans have little capacity for or interest in critical thinking, they explain in the usual patronizing tone that decriminalization plays into the hands of Mexican Drug Cartels. I do not expect anyone in the federal government to understand basic supply/demand economics, so they may actually believe what spills out their pie holes. They would be loath to admit that their war on drugs plays into the hands of Mexican Drug Cartels.
Our local fish wrap (San Jose Mercury News) recently explained that an important reason to vote no on Prop 19 is because California would be the only state to decriminalize pot. Of course, out the other side of their ass they simultaneously explain that we should vote no on Prop 23 because California needs to set an example (“lead the way”) for other states on clean energy policy.
I do not expect critical thinking from the San Jose Mercury News (and they oblige me), but I see a great deal of it demonstrated in the original posts and comments on this blog.

October 17, 2010 at 11:32 PM #619334BigGovernmentIsGoodParticipantI was going to vote for the Peace and Freedom candidate where ever possible but decided to vote for the Democrat for Governor and Senate. I voted for the Peace and Freedom candidate for every other position where it was possible to do so.
I figure if we can get some of the lower positions filled by Peace and Freedom candidates it will put some pressure on Democrats at the top to start serving the people as opposed to special interests. I would have voted a straight Peace and Freedom ticket, but I don’t want to help Republicans win the top spots.
props:
19 – yes
20 – no
21 – yes
22 – no
23 – no – jab a sharp stick in Big Oil/BigPollution’s eye
