• TABOR referendums defeated in Maine, Washington

  —Haas414

  TABOR ballot items, we hardly knew ye! As Josh Marshall wrote on TPM, the defeat of these two coastal TABOR referendums was “an important barometer of right-wing, anti-spending, anti-government sentiment that should not be ignored.” Should a Republican win the governorship here in Wisconsin, might we have another TABOR bill to fight?

  Number of comments: 4
  Those who care about civil rights and justice are not pleased this morning with the outcome of the vote yesterday in Maine regarding the gay marriage referendum.  It is never easy to see the rights of Americans put to a vote, and even harder to see that so many undervalue their [...]

• Interesting--but generally disappointing--results last night

  —folkbum's rambles and rants

  by folkbumMost disappointing, I think, in Maine, where once again the reactionary forces of bigotry turned out in greater numbers than the forces of goodness and light, and repealed the state's same-sex marriage law. The civil rights efforts of this generation have been dealt another severe setback. (At the same [...]

• Maine Voters Turn Out In Large Numbers On Gay Marriage Issue

  —CAFFEINATED POLITICS

  This is good news.  If the cities get out as Bangor seems to be doing, we are going to prevail! Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap told me just now that turnout there is far exceeding his projections — news that would be good news for backers of same-sex marriage. “We’re seeing [...]

  Reading Russ Feingold, I'm reminded of Robert Kaplan:
  In the 1990s, successive democratic Pakistani governments struggled to cope with intensifying social and economic turmoil. Violence was endemic to Karachi and other cities. But even as the Pakistani political elite turned inward, it remained obsessed with the related problems' [...]

  Number of comments: 0
  JAY LENO: An MSNBC anchor, Contessa Brewer, made an embarrassing mistake on the air last week. She called Jesse Jackson 'Al Sharpton.' Oh, yeah.
  
  Even worse than that, after he told her, 'I'm Jesse Jackson,' she said, 'Oh, you're the one between Jermaine and Tito.' [...]
