Corey Booker looks so psyched at the spector of a Republican Senate.

Pro: It's two years.

Con: Congressional shitshow. Appropriations (Infrastructure, Science, Welfare) cut or severely cut. Hearings. Keystone pipeline going through. Drilling en masse. Obamacare reductions in return for functioning government. Government shutdowns. Potential default.

Pro: We'll all probably still be alive in two years.

I've come around to Keystone because the unstoppable force of capitalism means the wells will be drilled no matter what so it makes no difference wrt global warming at all. This has been borne out by the last year or two.

The only difference is that the oil will be easy to put on a boat increasing their fungibility so US gas prices will rise which im ambivalent about.

Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)
Marijuana legalization is running at 61% for, 39% against in Oregon. In Multnomah County, it is running at 69%. This means it will probably be around 50% in the Portland suburbs, and also around 60% in Eugene and Corvallis. So it looks unlikely that the more conservative parts of the state will be able to come up with enough votes to defeat it.

I'll have to look again when the final numbers are in tomorrow, but it's a combination of low turnout and resistance to changing healthcare.


Suffice to say: if Vermont can't get a popular referendum on this issue, few states stand a chance. I promise you that Scott Milne is not an exciting candidate.
