I apologize for the insult.
Didn't we send the same message on November 4, 2008?
I'm curious as to what the voter turnout was today. Special elections typically lean right.
If we kick enough people out of office in November, we may see some serious changes and accountability, but I seriously doubt that will happen. I hope it does, but it seems like people only lose their seat to Death (Ted Kennedy) and scandal (countless others).
One seat going right during a special election is ... well, typical.
One thing is sure ... we voted for change last year, got none. We supposedly just voted for change, I bet we get none. We'll probably vote again in November for some more and get none.
Term limits would be part of the overall solution. Too bad the people cannot put Proposition 1 on the national ballot: term limits
