8. And we are one of the few states with "tort reform," which Repubs argue will lower
ins. rates. I've told conservatives that's a lie 'til I'm blue in the face. But they don't believe.

Supposed tort reform has no measurable effect on insurance rates at all. Witness Texas. One of the few states with tort reform laws, and one of the highest ins. rates in the nation (which went higher after the tort reform laws were passed). Of course, conservatives would ALWAYS argue, "They'd be even HIGHER if we DIDN'T have tort reform....ya'll!"
