Nov 2014

"No" won out by around 10000 votes out of 1.4 million cast. That is far from an insurmountable margin, and the GMers will need to sink just as much money into it in 2015 and 2016. They will lose eventually.

Meanwhile, yesterday, while the rest of the country was busy committing political suicide via GOP, Oregon voters re-elected Democratic incumbents for the house and senate, re-elected a Democratic governor who had been recently bitten by a rather nasty scandal involving his fiance', solidified Democratic control of the state legislature, added an equal rights amendment to the state constitution, and legalized marijuana.

Guess the West Coast is pretty damn liberal after all.
