Local Minnesota Election Stuff: Al ... Al .. Almost all bad news.

Bachmann is ahead of Tinklenberg enough to be pretty sure that she will win the night.

Paulson is beating Madia by enough to be pretty sure that Madia will not be going to Washington as our congressperson.

Coleman has pulled ahead of Franken, and my estimate is that Franken-leaning precincts were counted early. Franken will not win.

Minnesotans can be such unmitigated morons that I can't believe it sometimes.

I think we passed the nature tax.

It's looking good for medical marijuana in Michigan, too, yet strangely close there for stem cell research.

Tight judicial races here too that will keep us up all night dammit!

Bachmann is being reelected? Wow, that's sad. And horrifying. And embarrassing.

Well, the judges are clear. At least there's that! Franken/Coleman is going into recounts...

Lynne: I think Prop 8 is probably worse than Bachmann, but if we adjust ... so the equivilant of Prop 8 in a single rural congressional district vs Bachmann representing that district ... Well, still, Prop 8 is worse because it will be harder to get rid of.
