An Interesting Sell on Prop. 11

Joel Fleishman: "By passing Proposition 11, Californians will be making it possible to add more conservatives to the legislature than ever before. That's right - despite all of the rhetoric of misguided Prop. 11 supporters, who somehow believe that this measure will end partisanship in Sacramento - it will not. But what it will do is add more Republicans into the mix, giving us more votes to stop spending increases, tax increases and the growth in government that we have seen at the hands of the liberal Democrats who control the institution."

Might this be off-message for the campaign in a heavily-Democratic state?
