I was thinking about the possibilities of this. Let's assume that the polls are right and that Bush has the lead in Colorado and that the voters believe Bush will win. Let's also assume that voters will be thinking in the short-term, so that Bush supporters will vote NO and Kerry supporters will vote YES.
Here's what could happen:
(1) The voters are right, Bush wins, and the measure fails. 9-0 Bush.
(2) The voters are wrong, Kerry wins, and the measure passes. 5-4 Kerry.
This measure would actually hurt Kerry and help Bush if it passes, because it probably only passes if Kerry wins Colorado--but Kerry's supporters will support it and Bush's will oppose it, because they believe Bush will win.
