LOL - the influence of TV on the typical voter is well documented:
why else would both sides on Proposition 8 spend over 70 million
between them, with most of that going to TV?  And in fact most voters
are not thinking at all about what is appropriate in a constitution.
If they were, the ads would cover that instead of the fear mongering
about schools, which have nothing to do with it.

So, you simply made a fool of yourself by declaring victory.
