yeah he doesn't necessarily have 'better numbers' but he is good at getting people to understand what matters

to blindly vote for who ever is pro choice regardless of how their other goals with affect you is crazy to me.

I'd be really surprised if a pro choice pol did not line up with a huge number of my own political beliefs. Are there many pro-choice candidates who are anti-tax, pro-bombing Iran, pro-right wingers on the Supreme Court, etc?

my parents! They justify their pro-choice stance as "conservative" – no one should tell her what to do with her body, Mom says.

JacobSanders, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:54 (eleven years ago) link

I'm not saying abortion is not an issue of policy, but to blindly vote for who ever is pro life regardless of how their other goals with affect you is crazy to me

JacobSanders, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 16:56 (eleven years ago) link

Our union has a problem of members voting for republicans because they think Obama will take their guns. And other moral issues.

Dude, of course they could win. If you're already thinking they WILL win you've already given up. Relax.

pretty good night for the senate

- went from joe lieberman to chris murphy in CT (moderate gain for good guys)
- went from richard lugar to joe donnelly in IN (big gain for good guys)
- went from olympia snowe to angus king in ME (probably a moderate gain for good guys)
- went from president scott brown to elizabeth warren in MA (big gain for good guys)
- went from ben nelson to deb fischer in NE (not so good but fuck ben nelson)

looks like the ND seat is still up in the air and i don't know much about the other intra-party seat changes
