Yeah, that's exactly when support started to slide. Fickle voters. I think if the price had stayed high, it would have been a much closer vote. But I still think fear of the unknown (how much will it affect gas prices?) ultimately caused people to vote no.

The ads on TV did a good job of portraying the backers as shady backroom profiteers.

I voted no too. Ethanol has enough money and support right now, it doesn't need anymore.

RR,

I have to disagree with your assessment. As I noted a few days ago, I voted against it (absentee ballot) because it is/was a poorly written proposition that was a neubulous pit of verbiage. I would have voted for it had it been directed toward conservation and buy-downs for AE systems. I wouldn't have cared if the price of gas went up.
