I can't believe that MA, of all places, has a Republican governor. That is mind boggling. Lucky MA! Now your state can get to work at getting rid of "The Swimmer"!

I hope that everyone here will please spare some pity for those of us in California. We have been overrun by Rat rule all across the board (although we did pick up a couple of State senate and assembly seats, small solace at least) and all the bonds/tax increases passed. *sigh* oh, well, the Rats are in charge and will deserve all the blame for the even greater mess this state will soon be in. Perhaps by the next election, the unthinking voters here will have had some sense knocked into them. Anyway, I'm thankful and so happy that the GOP now controls both houses.

jtill, hayburner, how are you holding up? California needs to get with the program!

The only thing to do about California is to try to ignore it. In some ways I don't mind Davis winning so much as we are in SUCH a mess can't imagine how dems will ever climb out. Oc course I felt that way last year too.

Lorena, when I tried gleefully to surf the TV last night - hoping to watch dem meltdown - was unable to get news on ABCCBSNBC as they were, at least from 6 to 9, having sitcoms. Were you able to see them? Maybe they didn't like what was going on or couldn't handle the lack of exit polls. Would have liked to see Rush.

What a wonderful election!!! With the Senate maybe we can get ANWR. It is ridiculous but I feel personally more secure already!!!

"I can't believe that MA, of all places, has a Republican governor."


Massachusetts has had a Republican Governor for more than a decade.

The real problem is the veto proof Legislature.

The real "power" here is held by the Speaker of the House. He gets about 9000 votes (I should check that). He controls a 24 Billion dollar budget. Under Dukakis the Budget was about 11 Billion.

The Mass. State budget has more than doubled in 12 years under the reign of 3 consecutive Republican Governors.

Massachusetts is a Communist Republic. (Hmm, is that a contradiction?)

Think about it.

From the Boston Tea Party to this. It could be a coincidence.

I do not believe in "coincidences."

Everything happens for a reason!

I can't tell you how disappointed I am at the clean sweep of all the elected offices by the Rats. Well, maybe there is still hope that we can capture the Controllers office with the absentee ballots, but I really am not hoping too much.
