I think all of her points are really good--I also think it's important to note that a lot of groups (especially from out of state) spent tons of money on ads to scare and confuse people.
From what I understand, California has a ton of propositions each election, and some of them are worded in very confusing ways. With lots of pro-8 ads on the TV, I could see someone getting a vague idea that, say, church marriage was threatened, and then when faced with the vast # of propositions, just reflexively vote with their gut and vote yes, without really pausing to think things through.
