good. bad. ugly...

in the races last night,first the good news:

• virginia – Kaine (D) beat bush's stumpin pardner Kilgore (R) decisively to become next gov.
• new jersey – Corzine (D) beat fellow millionaire Forrester (R) decisively to become next gov. it is widely believed that he will appoint Richard Codey (D-current acting gov) to his now vacant senate seat. to salt the wound, corzine won mercer county (home of forrester) with 57% of the vote.
• cowleeforneeea – all of the terminator's ballot initiatives FAILED all of them. way to waste $60million, ahnold!
• pennsylvania – dover voters threw out creationist school board, replaced all six with dems
• maine – voters overwhelmingly regect effort to repeal gay rights law

bad news:

• virginia – looks like they elected a repug. for lt. gov
• texas – voters (insert joke here) approved a constitutional amend. to ban gay marriage in a landslide. texas already forbids that kind of arrangement, and this amend. had the potential to ban all marriages. ha! say good bye to your sister, billy-bob, she ain't your wifie no more.
• ohio – all of the Reform Ohio Now ballot measures failed. this is a big dissapointment. but then again, in ohio, it's a lot easier to convey marriage = man + woman, than it is to explain why the sec. of state should no longer have oversight of the elections. oh well, next time.

as fore the ugly, despite last night's success, we still have three more years of this intolerable asshole:
