Going away!
Us sharks are heading up to the People's Republic of Massachusetts for a weekend by the lake; we firmly believe that Boston rain will be sweet after New York City rain. So here are some things we'd like to throw out there.
Repuggery deathwatch, part I: the political class of the entire country is closely watching the race in CA-50; the NRCC has dumped over $4 million into this contest, but seems likely to lose. If Democrat Francine Busby wins, or even comes close to winning, it will be an earthquake.
Repuggery deathwatch, part II: SenatorLoathsome Toad Bill Frist is introducing a constitutional amendment this week to ban marriage equality; my feeling is that the base isn't buying it, and the rest of us are simply annoyed, because all the bigotry in the world ain't gonna make gas cheaper.
Power to the people: perhaps the most potentially transformative new initiative out there is an interstate compact to award the Presidential electoral votes of the several states to the winner of the popular vote. Legislation to this effect has already been passed in four states, and will be introduced in all 50 states by next year. This has the potential to make every vote, finally, count, even those from currently disfavored states like New York and Texas.
Hillarywatch: I hear privately that the Dark Lady may be reconsidering her Presidential ambitions, for the simple reason that she knows how to read polls, as do her people. Put that down as another potential earthquake; and if she does forego the contest, she will instantly become a national icon.
