the beauty of no

Every proposition on the CA statewide ballot failed yesterday. Every. single. one. All those little red Ns. So satisfying. I could look at them all day.

So much for the Governator and his proclamations about the will of the people. The people have spoken, and they said no.

I voted for a Republican! eek!

Bad liberal! No biscuit! ;) Although given the BBC mistake, I wonder if he actually counts.

So you like Bloomberg then?

I do like Bloomberg. I like the fact that the only political position he aspires to is mayor of NY, and that he is doing it because he really wants to do what is best for the city, not what is best for him. I may not agree with everything he does, but it's nice to know that it is really not about politics.

He's definitely not a Republican, but given the ridiculousness to Democratic politics in NY, it was the only way he could get on the ballot, so that's what he did.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I had just assumed he was that rare beast: a moderate Republican, like Guliani.

No, I think he was a registered Democrat until the day he decided to run for office. The problem in NY is that there are far too many Democrats who have been in city office forever, so there is no way for someone new to make any sort of inroads as a democrat, thus...

Of course his financial background does also give him a lot of credibility as a republican.
