Prop 8 Is Down To The Wire

With polls showing a tight race less than a week before election day over a proposed ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage, both sides are ramping up their campaigns.
The measure, known as Proposition 8, would overturn the state Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriages, by instead changing the state constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman.
This week the No on 8 coalition - the umbrella group opposed to the amendment - unveiled a new ad by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D).
The commercial is running on TV stations statewide. In it, Feinstein speaks directly into the camera, urging voters to oppose the amendment.
“In my lifetime, I’ve seen discrimination and I see it again in Proposition 8,” Feinstein said at the beginning of the spot. The popular senator tells viewers that the measure is “about discrimination and “treats people differently under the law.”
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom held a fundraiser Tuesday night at his home to help raise money for the No on 8 committee. Earlier in the day he urged students at the University of California - Santa Cruz to vote against the measure.
