[Leo Tanner]

I'll keep ma speech short an bring things round full circle...

OH THE HUMANITY!

[Delmonico]

Our locals were better:

AMENDMENT 2 - HUNTING/FISHING
Precincts Reporting: 100.0%
For -   539,818   76%
Against -   163,923   23%
Total Votes: 703,741

The right is now in our state Constitution. 

Also we sent the former Governor and Senator and now a Liberal Carpet Bagger back to NYC where he chose to live 20 years ago:

U.S. SENATE
Precincts Reporting: 100.0%
Deb Fischer - R   444,319   58%
Bob Kerrey - D   318,930   41%
Total Votes: 763,249

We are sending a Sandhills rancher to Washington.  Long story but Kerry's dirty campaign based on a court case in the 90's where a property dispute was settled didn't work.  Involved land with out a clear title based on improper surveys when the land was settled.

Out this way Oregon and Washington past legalization of recreationation marijuana use.  PRK is still physician reccomended medical.  My hope is that all the pot heads will go on a mass exodus ta parts north. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Colorado voted on some marihuana issues yesterday, I didn't hear whether they passed or not. They have a bunch of places that sell medicinal marihuana.

[mestiza letty]

It did pass TLD.........gotta get past the feds tho & CA found out...just means they don't persecute at the local level
Had election results to see at 8:30 pm PST on my break....disappointed to say the least.
On a good note stocks in firearms companies & Cabela's, (gunna sit on mine) are up...Sales over the counter at my store were thru the roof during the last election.
Nevada was red until the 2 biggest counties posted results...too many "kool-aid drinkers" came over & ruined it...most populus in Reno & "Lost Wages".
Grabbin' my early pension & hidin' it out in my sock drawer

[Leo Tanner]

Bite your tongue!

The democrat electorate's low level of intelligence, as displayed Tuesday past, 'n their numbers are now sufficient to make the final left turn. They'll be further dumbed down 'n even more dependant on gooberment freebies by 2016.

I'd think Clinton would win inna landslide.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Probably, she's getting ready to resign as SofS

[Leo Tanner]

Well if all they got is Hellery er Biden they are doomed to fail, least ways that's what I like ta think.

I THOUGHT that Mitt would win....barely but win.... Had His BUTT handed to Him.....  I fear the worst is on, from now on....

[Arcey]

That's old white man's thinkin', Leo. The prevalent thought is progressive. Fiscal responsibility, trimming government 'n such is passé.

Have us a lot of unhappy people o'er this way because of the wait to vote. Noted in the pilot (lower case intended) were quotes of registrars citing people showing up at the wrong polling place. Another noted some were seeing questions on two Virginia constitutional amendments for the first time.

"Voters who breeze through candidate selection often screech to a halt when they hit amendments they're reading for the first time." (That assumes they can read.)

They had no problem with the candidates because all they had to do was look for the "D" beside the name. That's all they needed to know. The amendments have been cussed 'n discussed in every Virginia paper I read as well as reported on by the talking heads. But I quess they'd miss a game show or something equally informative if they took the time to take in the issues.

Those people have no business voting in elections that have an impact on those of us who take it seriously.

Failure is a matter of prospective. Hillary could make a promise or two she doesn't intend to keep, call her opponent a sexist and win in a walk................................................. With Big Bird as her vice presidential running mate.

This rant brought to you by the letter H.

[Leo Tanner]

That's all true.  The sample ballot has pages of information on each proposal, the actual ballot just has them short little paragraphs.  Sad thing is once they announced who won liar in chief the local news didn't bother tellin us the local results.  Mebbe they is still countin in the great metropolis what is Placer County.  Waitin on the edge a my seat ta learn the fate a ma 68 BILLION dollar choo choo.

[Texas Lawdog]

We have gone from being Republicans in Dallas County , to being Democratic since 2000. It don't look like it's gonna change anytime. I really didn't think that Romney had much of a chance of getting elected.  What about "slick willie" as First Husband?

[Arcey]

She hasn't even promised anything yet and Big Bird hasn't committed.

You can't fix stupid.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would start out as a dominant favorite in the 2016 Iowa caucuses if she chooses to run for president, a new survey from Public Policy Polling finds.
The PPP poll, which was shared exclusively with POLITICO, shows Clinton taking 58 percent of the Iowa vote in a hypothetical presidential run. Vice President Joe Biden trails far behind at 17 percent, followed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 6 percent and Massachusetts Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren at 3 percent.
None of the other Democrats tested – Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Virginia Sen. Mark Warner – cracked 1 percent in the poll.
If Clinton doesn't run, Biden would jump into the lead with a less-commanding 40 percent of the vote, with Cuomo rising to 14 percent and Warren up to 9 percent. In the event that neither Clinton nor Biden runs, Cuomo draws 30 percent to Warren's 13 percent, with 46 percent of voters unsure who they'd support.
As one would expect, Clinton and Biden are by far the best-known and best-liked of the Democrats' potential 2016 field. Both are universally known and have approximately equal favorability ratings: Clinton gets a positive response from 86 percent of Democrats and a negative response from 11 percent. For Biden, those numbers are 85 percent positive, 15 percent negative.
Of the other candidates listed, only Andrew Cuomo was known to a majority of Iowa respondents. Thirty-eight percent had a favorable impression of him, while 16 percent had an unfavorable impression.
O'Malley, Patrick, Schweitzer, Warner and Warren all drew "not sure" answers from a majority of respondents, meaning they have plenty of room to grow as 2016 approaches.
From the list of pols PPP tested, Biden and O'Malley are viewed as most likely to run for the White House in four years. Clinton has said she has no intention of running for president, though many in the party believe she might change her mind. Warren has ruled out a White House bid, but hope springs eternal among her liberal fan base.
All the usual caveats apply here: a poll can't predict events four years down the line and there are Democrats viewed as potential candidates who weren't included, such as Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
But the big picture here speaks for itself: Clinton looms over the Democratic presidential field and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
The full poll, which you can see here, tested 391 Iowa Democrats on Nov. 3 and 4 – before the results of the 2012 presidential race were known.
