Strong point, California screaming. People are confused about the scale and size of the lottery vs. the overall education budget.. And one correction from me: Field shows Prop 1C, the lottery borrowing measure, with less than 50 percent--the danger zone for an initiative because most initiatives don't gain support. Those voters in doubt tend to vote no. But the measure is not trailing. It has a lead, 48-37. Joe Mathews Irvine senior fellow, New America Foundation www.newamerica.net/blog/blockbuster-democracy/
