elections tonight. one gang to turn over to another gang

On the eve of a Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconell.  There’s much debate on what that means… one minority report shrugging “gridlock is gridlock whether the two houses in Congress are united or not”, the two sides of the equation in party terms musing about this tidbit and that tidbit.

Or, gridlock out of the way… Areas of agreement with Republicans and disagreements with Democorats ... Free Trade!

Instead, he quickly became known as one of the Senate’s most left-leaning members. For instance, while Wyden in 2011 supported free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia – not surprising given Oregon’s dependence upon trade – Merkley opposed them.

The comedy of a map for the racially polarized electorate in the South.  Skip to Georgia.  See if Michelle Nunn can sneak up over 50 percent, lest a run-off go by way of 2008, where a three point Republican advantage in November turned into a route in December.

Amanda Swafford is the third party candidate.  Libertarian.  We’re watching the third party candidate there and in Louisiana, where in the jungle primary system… so we have a bunch of weird candidates whose weirdness seems to be mostly that their political party didn’t tap them.

Whatever happens in Oregon with marijuana, Oregonians may decide to skip over the bureaucratic stupidity plaguing Washington and take a trip to Guam.
