Election Day, 2014, Massachusetts

Not highlighted:

Falchuk got just over 3% of the vote, which is what he was aiming for. I am sure he and his Party would have welcomed a greater percentage, but he got what he needed.

Three Green Rainbows ran, though none for Governor. http://www.green-rainbow.org/

All lost, of course. (I'm embarrassed that I did not even know the Green Rainbows had sued the Secretary of State!)

Just as a gut reaction, not based on research, ballot questions seemed to go the way of those who spent a lot of money on TV ads.

I voted the opposite of the way I thought the big ad buy spenders seemed to want me to vote. I did hesitate some about automatic tax indexing, though. I think accountability is important, though perhaps it is more of an illusion than anything else.

And, again, our very own Scott Brown lost in New Hampshire. That makes me smile every time I think of his cynical, Koch loving smirk.

1. Morning Schmoe, who knows better, now pretending that a Republican being Governor in Massachusetts

says something significant. Hello? Dukakis left office in 1991. Patrick took office in 2007. In between, four Republicans, including Weld and Romney. (Funny that Joe forgot those two so quickly, isn't it, especially Romney?)

Scarborough is so disingenuous, I want to pinch his nose hard. (Lame, I know, but for a nonviolent person, that's a lot of gore!)
