I agree that it's a very complicated issue, and that everyone should vote against Prop 3 anyway.
Personally, I'm going to vote against it because bloomberg spammed me on it (I mean, really -6- separate mailings on the subject? How nice if him...), because it feels like a snow job, and because I don't actually want to end Democratic dominance of the city, however much of it is left.
I do think there's some merit to the idea (and it might very well rebound against its proponents, often ending up with two Democrats going against each other on Election Day), but also massive issues (like the money one -- with a wide open election, -every- candidate will need serious money rather than just those that get through the primaries).
