I drove up to Oakley, California Sunday to check polling locations and also went through Pittsburg, and Bentwood, all small towns north of San Francisco.
It was the hardest day I've had here, by far.
Everywhere there were Yes on 8 signs, nowhere No on 8 signs. Neighborhood after neighborhood, signs were on lawns of suburban houses not unlike my own. I came across two small Yes on 8 "rallies" at intersections, and people where honking and cheering in support.
I wanted to cry.
There is no crying in baseball. Or in politics. Thicken your skin, and do the work.
