New In a weird way...
I wanted Dino to win. Not because I liked him (I voted for Gregoire) but because I'm a firm believer that gridlock produces better legislation. Both candidates are acting like spoiled brats - Dino started first, but Gregoire has been slowly sliding down to his level with various acts of hipocracy, at least the way I saw it.

To be honest, I haven't followed this too closely.

New Gridlock and progress...
I could careless if there is gridlock, as long as progress is made... progress BAD or Progress GOOD. Either way the correction factor built-in to the political gridlock is what makes it the best.

Now, what we have for for an immoral majority right now... is sickening.

Some people I know were scared to vote for Kerry, he actually scared many people I know. They didn't want Bush either. So they voted for one of the other candidates that were not Nader.

Throw away votes yes... but it almost made a difference.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
