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.
Seriously, I would love to see the Republican Party go to the Huntsmans of this world.
I'd like this, too. I'm an independent who had voted Dem all her adult life because the Rep options have just been getting increasingly crazy and vile. it would be nice to have to think about it.
I'm delighted to see that McCaskill not only beat Akin, but beat him by a sound margin. It was my great privilege and pleasure to have voted against the man.
Voter turnout down from 2008. Estimates for Texas are that it is down 10% or more. goodness. maybe I should have tried to make some gotv calls. TX is getting really close to 50/50 in a lot of counties and if changes to the state government can start to reflect that, then pockets of this state will become a lot more attractive to live in.
The MA assisted suicide question is still too close to call, which accurately reflects my family, at least.
Looks like 30 passed - so glad for all our Californians.
Early AM, and Prop 30 is officially YES by a nice impressive margin. Morning assembly at the playground at Matilda's school is going to be positively giddy. Coming so soon after the Giants' triumph, I'm almost afraid a couple of teachers are going to physically disintegrate, their bodies unable to contain the joy within. Though I'm pretty sure they are happy to take that risk to get the glee.
askye, your friend's husband's post is incredibly gracious and eloquent and makes me a little ashamed of how ungracious I've been in the past in his position. Would you mind asking him if he'd mind an admirer at the other end of the continent sharing it with some of her church group?

Good on you, California! And didn't you vote to repeal the Three Strikes business too?
Not repeal outright, but at least whittle away at some of its most egregiously shitty unintended consequences.
The death penalty still stands, though.
And I'm pretty depressed by my own city's low voter turnout (a hair under 52% in a presidential election year? Humiliating).
North Dakota rejected a measure to make a law against felony animal abuse. So, North and South Dakota continue to be the only states in the country without felony animal abuse laws.
Another thing I'm hearing: did Puerto Rico vote in favour of statehood?
