Whooo, election results

Nov 08, 2006 09:51

I went to bed at, like, 11, after watching Deval Patrick's victory speech as MA governor (wooooooo! except he, sniff, didn't mention the gay people.), which was fun. He is apparently the first Democratic governor of MA since Dukakis, and plus he seemed great during the debates, so this is all very exciting. Yay. I voted for him. And some Greens in ( Read more... )

Though, checking SFGate, I see California's got Arnold. Again. Boo. Butat least they seem very excited that the Speaker of the House is thefirst woman and also the first Californian to do so.

yeah, i was pissed off to see that CA reelected the governator. people are dumb.

but hey, nancy pelosi as speaker! that's a good thing.

I don't know who Nancy Pelosi is, but it sounded like a good thing to me. :)

Clearly CA Democrats need to field their *own* movie star. Maybe then they'd stand a chance, because CA clearly likes to elect People Who Are Cool. (I didn't know Leland Stanford had been governor until recently, but, you know, it makes sense.)

nancy pelosi is pretty groovy. while not as liberal as she could be (in san francisco, she's seen as a moderate) she is nevertheless in favor of most of the right things -- abortion rights, education, civil liberties -- and appears to be pro-gay marriage.

hm. yeah. CA seems to like electing B-movie stars that become republicans. i hear that lots of hollywood types are liberal, so let's recruit some of them instead. (ideally, one of the brighter ones, since most hollywood stars come off sounding like airheads - though maybe they're secretly brilliant underneath?)

Nancy Pelosi does sound cool. Yay Nancy!

I mean, surely there must be a Democrat movie star who wouldn't mind being governor, right?

apparently, some people also think she's just waiting for the right moment to initiate bush/cheney impeachment. (by some people, i refer specifically to mark morford and my parents, but i'm sure they aren't the only ones.)

i just spent a lot of time looking for democrat actors, and eventually decided it was an entire lj post. ^_^
