My Governor is about to become a wingnut hero
it's pretty ironic because they pretty much despise him as being a RINO king. But after tonight, when Governor Douglas vetoes marriage equality, the winguts will erupt in praise for his "principled stance"- I can just about guarantee those exact words will be used.

Well, I hope he enjoys it, because this is going to ensure that this is his last term in office. He'll lose next year.

1. He'll lose only if there is not a third party in the race to siphon off votes from the Democrat
such as the first time Douglas was elected when he won 45-42 percent.

2. nah, he'll lose.
a lot of it is because he's been in for too long. And some of it is this arrogant shit- vetoing a bill that had huge support in both houses. And plus, he's going to actually have a good dem opponent, Deb Markowitz, our SoS. I am a little anxious about Anthony running, though.

And in the 2002 race, it's hard to say who Con Hogan drew the most votes from.

3. I hope he has a good opponent--that's been one of the problem
in some of these races, dems putting up weak challenges.
