Politics Around the Country…

… SD’s abortion ban is going down. Jail4Judges? Ditto. (Brendan Kiley: “It just sounds like the most asinine direction populism could take.”)
… Colorado still wants to ban same-sex marriage, high-profile pastoral hypocrisy or no. Domestic partnership benefits are still up in the air, but most voters are frowning on those too.
… Claire McCaskill just gave a rousing speech broadcast on CNN, but her race is still undecided. Talent, her opponent, gave a God-laden speech that sure sounded like a concession.
… The other hot deciding Senate races are: Virginia, whose 6,000-vote spread is most likely headed for a recount. And Montana, where Tester (D) is edging Burns by a little less than 10,000 points.
UPDATE:
CNN has just called Missouri for McCaskill. Only two more Senate seats to go.
On behalf of Colorado, I apologize. We have a Christian problem. Will get the pine tar ready. Bricks and Baseball bats.
Webb's up to a 12,000 lead in VA, and Tester is holding steady at 11,000.
I think we may very well take both houses. HOLY FUCK!
I am so depressed about Colorado!
Hooray for McCaskill! Also, Amendment 2 passed (Stem cell research)! Reason has triumphed over "morals"!!!!!
What is so surprising for me is that in many states, raising the minimum wage has had a higher margin than banning same-sex marriage. I wonder if all of those Republican congressmen claiming to represent the "working man" have ever considered this when deciding what important legislative issues they should tackle on the floor of the Congress?
And I'm really, really glad that Amendment E in South Dakota went down, as well as I-933 and I-920 in WA. Gives some proof that the electorate isn't as crazy as I thought.
I wonder how many votes McCaskill got due to Limbaugh?
