It may seem minor, but I'm pretty disappointed that the SF measure to prevent people from sitting or lying on the sidewalk is passing by a wide margin. And that the CA proposition to support state parks is losing (although that's less surprising).
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Gansler's already opened an investigation.
Of course he has, it's news, so he'll get to be interviewed, maybe a press conference or two.
I dislike the guy, I knew him when he was an AUSA in DC and he was a dick.

I can't stop checking on returns.
Senate race is back to even. I smell a recount before this gets called.
The Amendment to define a "person" is declared defeated. Woot.

Fuck. It's neck and neck for Fiorina and Boxer. Got a bad feeling about that one.
eta: But Nate Silver tells me that's unlikely. I'm going to try breathing.
Jeez, it's been crazy in SF lately. Politics, Halloween and World Series is a potent cocktail for the locals.

megan, I know a number of people who were campaigning against the sit/lie thing. Sorry it's passing. That sucks.
In Washington, a number of "we desperately need money for shit!" propositions are not passing. BOO.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm consoling myself that it might work out okay. People impatiently expected Obama to single-handedly pull us out of the worst economic trough since the Great Depression within 2 years. When they see the Republicans can't do it in 2 years, maybe they'll pendulum right back.
It's certainly feasible. From what I've seen, the Republican brand is still less popular than the Dems. And people still blame the Repubs more than the Dems for creating this mess. (Even Repubs blame the banks or Bush before Obama.) The Dems are basically being punished for being in power and not having fixed it. I don't think it's fair, but it's certainly predictable.
Anyway, the Repubs are blamable again, and the Tea Party candidates aren't going to be any more capable of changing the fundamentals of politics than Obama was, so I wouldn't be surprised if their majority is vulnerable next time around.

Hey, whatever gets to the bottom of this. I want to know who the corporate/PAC imbeciles are so I can ensure they never get another dime of my money.

DH's best friend is a MC cop. I never heard a good word out of him when he had to deal with Gansler as MC State's Attorney.
It's too bad that he was running unopposed for AG. I would have seriously considered voting for his opponent, just on sheer dislike of him as an individual.

Who wants to lay bets on how soon ads for the mayoral race start running? Before or after we know who won the governor's race?
