...while its premise has a lot of promise, Proposition 77 could be a logistical nightmare. It calls for the redistricting to occur before the next congressional election. Those in charge of running state elections say that this is practically unfeasible and that the narrow timeframe is reason enough to reject the proposition (a Los Angeles Times poll has predicted its rejection as well). However, it seems that some sort of redistricting reform, be it in the form of Proposition 77 or not, would improve the situation.Another idea is to make it much more difficult to get propositions on the ballot...

Soon the world realized that the fabricated universe of neo-conservative logic was imprudent at best. Those policy makers who pushed for the Iraq war seem to have been contemptuous of the decidedly ruinous effects of their wild military excursion...
