30 is definitely a nail bitter--it just switched to yes, but I am still worried

'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

NYTimes has called Virginia for Obama.
Okay, now 30 is back to "no" leading. PEOPLE! BE BETTER
My nasty nasty State race stayed Democrat! Go Wendy Davis!
Jesus, if 30 fails that's just...crazy cakes for parents with school age children in California.
School will be over in mid-April.
Ahhh, shit.
We got stuck with Steve King again, rats!
Very glad Obama won, even with my issues with him.
Rmoney needs to concede already so I can go to bed.
Starting with Obama's election in '08, Republicans, Fox and the rest of the conservative media bet everything on an Obama defeat in '12.
With the economy so bad in '08 and Republican obstruction of action to help the economy, maybe that seemed like a reasonable bet. Adding in Citizens United, voter suppression, etc. just made victory seem more likely. Which is why some of them refused to even consider the possibility they'd fail.
So they bet everything and lost. No wonder some of them are having difficulty accepting this.
David, phrasing it as difficult for parents is not really the biggest concern. Kids will lose a month of instruction on top of whatever other furloughs are happening. For kids taking AP classes, they will end the school year well before the exams and then have to sit for the tests weeks later.
I'm baffled that there are any parents who voted against it based on what it will do to gut all education, not just because it screws up daycare plans.
C'mon now, Steph, that guy is going to be hauled off in cuffs any day now. Let him have his fun while he can.
