My prediction: There will be lots of recounts...
Liesje said:We have lots of proposals (shooting doves, banning affirmative action, adjusting teachers' pensions based on inflation/COL, putting more money into parks and rec, etc). I'm not too keen on either candidate for governor here, so I have some research to do...
MrsSpringsteen said:I predict MA is about to have its' first African American governor-Deval Patrick (he was Assistant Attorney General For Civil Rights in the Clinton administration). And its' first Democratic governor since 1991.
Pretty amazing for such a den of liberal debauchery..
And my greatest hope is that Santorum losses, oh happy day!

Lots of people (including my roommate and a girl down the hall) haven't been recieving their absentee ballots in time...it's causing a huge problem. People who wanted to vote now won't be able to unless the registrars make some changes

Oh, for real. I spent a lot of time yesterday reading up on them all - proposals and candidates, that is.
A_Wanderer said:I suspect that it will be a lot closer than the polls suggested and regardless of the outcome the dems will be disappointed and the repubs will be glad it wasn't worse.

Our paper, the Grand Rapids Press, did a little blurb on each proposal, but it ended up being zero help because they didn't give the right info. For example, I was going to vote "no" for MORE money going into the public school (because lack of money isn't the problem), but then my dad explained that most of this money would go back into teachers' salaries and pensions, which have been cut.
It's impossible to find newspapers or websites that simply explain the facts without twisting it towards their own agenda.
