It's disappointing that Prop 62 won't pass, and it goes to show that California is more socially conservative than people give it credit for.
Oh well. At least it looks like we're going to get legal pot, which is nice.
California's always been more supportive of the death penalty, mainly because of the higher crime rate.
Well, given that places with capital punishment tend to have higher rates of crime since the death penalty has a reverse deterrent effect, that's a bit circular.
Advocates will just have to keep trying until California gets it right.
