I will literally eat some portion of a NY Yankees baseball cap if Astorino wins.

Not sure whether the Sapient or StopCommonCore ballot line is more eye-rolly.

I had heard about Stop Common Core line but Sapient was a new one when I cast my ballot this morning.

The one thing I've learned about NY Politics since moving here is that I want nothing to do with them, also ballot access lines are loving hilarious.

So I guess that's two things.

Sapient also advocates for the return of the line-item veto, weekend elections, replacing the electoral college with direct election of the president, federal referendum on all tax increases, and a whole boatload of lobbying reforms.

Watching CNN, it's difficult to tell whether they're reporting on a sports match or a civil war.

Can't it be both?

Well Grimes, maybe next time when someone asks you if you voted for the leader of your party you say something other than "Ummm...". McConnell was beatable.

I don't even have to go that far, apparently.

Kentuckians aren't complete idiots. McConnell is really really good at bringing federal money to the state, and people are just banking on him being able to do that even better as a majority leader.

Eastern Kentucky easily has some of the best highways in the entire country, hands down.

The Senate is not gerrymandered. It's impossible to gerrymander.

Unless you count "every state gets 2 senators" to be gerrymandering

Although, there are way more rural states than urban ones.

The GOP/Dem split is the same rural/urban issue that this country has been having since before the Revolutionary War happened.

my bad math says if CA had senators apportioned at the same ratio that the least populous state has (WY), then CA would send like 90 senators to washington to WY's 2.

If you want to know why Democrats don't run robustly on single payer healthcare, look at the VT Gubernatorial returns tonight.

In fairness to VT very little there is applicable on the national stage but still, holy poo poo at the numbers.

Not that Andrew Cuomo's presidential ambitions weren't tacitly hosed before tonight, but he's certainly not going to clear 60% which is a virtual loss. Thankfully the rest of the nation will be spared from his primary candidacy.

Schneiderman is pulling like 70%+ on the AG ballot, go him.

This means absolutely nothing for Cuomo's presidential ambitions hth.

He might still have them, but it's a complete no-hoper after tonight. No one went out and voted for Andrew Cuomo today, they voted against Astorino or for a Democrat.
