The (semi)final numbers are in (from CNN and other reports) on the total cost of Ahnuld's little fascist passion play. In all, $300,000,000+ (that 3/10's of a BILLION) was spent by all parties to promote/defeat/praise/excoriate the various props that went down in flames yesterday.
Not that it would have been, but think what Social Service or the roads people or the light rail people or the teachers or the (fill in the blank with your cause du jour) people could have done with that sort of money. Makes me sick. But at least, SOME of it was well spent, since the Props were defeated. Even the sicko abortion prop (daddy, I need an abortion to get rid of the baby I'm having since you raped me...whattya mean, no?) couldn't drag enough wingnuts out to prop the other losers up.
