CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS: BREAKING THE GRIP OF TOBACCO AND OIL

Californians can make a bold statement on Nov. 7. It's clear that both tobacco and oil are burdens on society that will eventually fall by the wayside. Few are left to argue that the deaths and disease due to tobacco addiction or the air pollution, Global Warming and wars caused by oil serve any beneficial purpose. Props. 86 and 87 grab the bull by the horns to hasten the demise of both.

Prop. 86 authorizes a staggering 13 cents per cigarette (or $2.60 per pack) tax--nearly triple the 87 cents per pack already collected!. This alone should force a lot of Californians to cut down, if not quit smoking altogether. . . and that's good. Californians have repeatedly acted against smoking in the past--no smoking in public buildings or commercial establishments, no smoking at the beach, no smoking on public transportation or at sporting events. Excise tax increases pop up every other election. Prop. 86 will be an exclamation point on the fact that California is NOT a tobacco-friendly state.

There's even an "up" side for those who continue to smoke or who are so addicted that they cannot stop. The new taxes they pay will go into the Tobacco Tax of 2006 Trust Fund, where, among other things, it will help pay for healthcare for the poor, the indigent, the uninsured and children. Lemonade from lemons.
Prop. 87 addresses the perhaps the Fundamental Question facing Humanity today: "How do we power our societies without turning our world into an unliveable mess?"

Schwarzenegger- 46%
Angelides - 33%
Undecided - 21%

Phil's ad campaign linking Ahnuld to GW hasn't had much of an effect
on the voters.

"They know he's a Republican, but they don't see him as Bush's evil twin,'' said Phil Trounstine, who heads the San Jose State research center. "To some degree, he has neutralized his Republican partisanship.''

While the California governor campaigned for Bush in Ohio, a crucial state in the 2004 election, the voters in Democratically leaning California simply are not holding it against him, Trounstine said. He notes while two-thirds of Californians who disapprove of Bush "favor Angelides by a 53-27 percent margin,'' the poll also showed that "people's opinions about Bush are not drivin
