Election Results
Posted By Ardellis on November 8, 2006
Massachusetts just elected its first black governor, and is first Democratic governor in what seems like millenia. We also voted “no” on all three ballot questions, two of which I voted “yes” for.
And now, I don’t have to listen to any more reorded messages from the Kerry Healey campaign about how Deval Patrick will give “special rights” to illegal immigrants. One of the priviledges of being an unenrolled voter is both major parties think I’m a potential swing vote — which I most definitely am not. The only reason I’m not a registered Democrat is that they generally aren’t liberal enough.
Nationally, it looks like the Dems have gained 29 seats in the House and 5 in the Senate. At least, that’s what the Boston Globe is reporting at this hour.
And 5 states appear to have voted to ban gay marriage. Which saddens and angers me to no end, because you would think this country had had enough tyranny of the majority back during the fight for black civil rights. But, no. Gays are the new blacks, and it’s still socially acceptable to push them to the back of the bus.
