AP: "Democratic Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine won the Virginia governor's race Tuesday, soundly defeating Republican Jerry Kilgore in a contest for a GOP-leaning state that was closely watched by political analysts for signs of the public's mood ahead of next year's midterm elections."

Looks like eerybody is so turned off by Anie that they went out and voted no for everything!

A shame too, 79, 80 should have been passed, especially 80, you'd think people would have learned their lesson after Cheney's buddies at Enron robbed us of 10 billion dollars in the 2001 electricity swindle. Allowing big corporations to go un-regulated is like saying gangsters no longer have to abide by the law, they can just do as they wish.

The wording was confusing, and most people lack reading comprehension skills that are trained enough to understand what it said. That's why it failed.

I voted for it. :shrug:

I dont know if you know it but CA still owes Canada 1.5 billion for electricity when they came in a bailed CA out. Maybe they should reposses Disney land ;)

God has nothing to do with these results. This election is just yet more proof of the Socialist takeover of CA - and the fact that the cabal of Unions, Public Employees and Welfare Recipients have a stranglehold on the state.

Fortunately, I earn enough money to completely fund my own retirement and not need the Gubmint. Check in with me when you are retired and having to live on very meagre SS checks in a flophouse retirement tenament - and then let me know if you still favor the state spending binge that got reaffirmed last night.

These election results really spell trouble for Republicans in 2006. There are so many Senate races that could become close or vulnerable for Republicans that may have seemed safe a few months ago. Look at a state like Minnesota, where the Republican, Mark Kennedy, is with Bush on almost every issue. If red staters in Virginia are repudiating Bush and voting Democrat, why the heck would a state like Minnesota vote Republican this election?

In other words, "people who didn't vote like I did are uneducated and stupid." Nice elitist attitude. :nice: Maybe they just didn't want it after they read it. :)

Not so much that, but it was obtusely worded. Bad attempt at a good idea. It'll probably pass in '06, though.

And this is California, our schools are sinking lower and lower into the realm of idiocy, and reading comprehension is not exactly a strong suit among many Californians.

Simply put, the ballot measure was convoluted with political jargon that nobody understood, so they voted against it.

Dsineyland? Nope

How about Fresno?

It isn't like the Democrats picked anything up in this election. There was a Dem governor in both Va and NJ before and there still is one.

Dems voted for the status quo in Ca which means that California will probably still be on the botton of the heap in education for the next generation.

To extrapolate from this election to what will happen in 2006 is overly optimistic at best. But the real question is what are you saying? That because a nomially Repub state like Va keeps a Dem gov then that means that the Repubs are going to lose the Senate?

Well the fact that a red state like Virginia again went for a Dem governor is a bad sign for Republicans, yes. But more relevant I think, is the fact that Senate races are more closely tied to the Federal government, and the President specifically. With Bush's approval ratings absolutely dismal, guys who are big Bush supporters, like Kennedy in Minnesota, or Santorum in Pennslyvania, are likely to be absolutely pummeled. So yeah, I think the Republicans are definitely at risk of losing the Senate.

... guys who are big Bush supporters, like Kennedy in Minnesota, or Santorum in Pennslyvania, are likely to be absolutely pummeled. ...

Santorum will get pummeled on his own merits - or rather, lack of them.

He's one freak show that's been no fun to watch here.

Meaning the majority of voters in Texas are bigots .

Indeed,in Ohio we had four propositions on the ballot to put an end to partisanship and clean up the eelctioral system and all four were defeated [I'm ashamed to say that the majority of Ohio voters do like poltical corruption].

Anyway,Ahnold [who owns a lot of land in Ohio] came out in favor of Propsition Four which would have independently appointed people draw up congressional districts [rather than politicans] ,and even Ahnold's endorsement couldn't help it pass.

Schwarzenegger, Republicans losing steam

By HAROLD MEYERSON
First published: Monday, November 14, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- Arnold Schwarzenegger's tenure of governing Democratic California as a partisan Republican came to the most predictable of unhappy endings here last week.

Each of the four ballot measures he inflicted on voters in his special election lost decisively -- his spending limit proposal tanking by 24 percent, and his measure to curb the clout of public sector unions (Proposition 75) by 7 percent. The mystery of this election is what on earth Schwarzenegger could have been thinking: No comparable elected official in recent memory has picked a fight so gratuitously and come out of it so beat up.

Back in January, Schwarzenegger's approval rating stood at 62 percent in the Public Policy Institute of California's poll. Then, in short order, he called for axing the pensions of the state's public employees, which would have eliminated the survivor benefits for widows and orphans of police officers and firefighters. He tried to stall the implementation of a law mandating a nurse-to-patient ratio in hospitals and attacked the nurses' union as a special interest. He reneged on a commitment to restore funding for the state's schools. He went after the public employees unions by backing Proposition 75. And the sky fell on him.

California's unions produced a torrent of advertising that featured cops, nurses, teachers and firefighters condemning the governor. They revved up the most effective Democratic voter mobilization operation in the nation. When they were done, not only did the governor's propositions fail but his approval rating in the most recent PPIC poll collapsed to a Bushian 35 percent...
