You know, I feel sorry for Camejo -- the Green candidate for CA Gov. He's the non-slimey choice, but tons of people voted defensively instead of telling both Davis and Simon to take a hike. Still, he pulled in 3% -- not bad in the lowest Gov voter turnout ever in CA history.

How ya'll folks feeling in Florida? You've got your own nose-holding race, but it looks like Jeb has won. I don't like his politics, but I think he's more capable dealing with that kind of power than Janet.

Well, Doug, maybe Bobert's right. The Repubs'll take the whole shootin' match and we'll watch the nuclear waste get dumped in Nevada, the Alaskan ecosystem destroyed for the sake of a relatively paltry amount of oil, SS retirement money go to stock brokers instead of the citizens who paid into the program, more hand-holding of corporate tax corruption like Enron and Auther Anderson, and women denied basic medical care.

But there's a "problem" -- historically, US governments that lean too far toward one party suffer a backlash. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Repubs lose the Senate and the White House in 2004 and 2006.
