RI General Assembly

Well, it looks like Don Carcieri's gigantic magnified eyeballs weren't enough to beat back the old guy in the URI sweatshirt. Early results show, by my count, that the makeup of the RI House will be 60 Democrats to 15 Republicans, and the State Senate will be 7 Republicans to 31 Democrats. That's, like, not good. Luckily, as expected, Separation of Powers passed by an Obama-like margin, 3-to-1. Question 2 is close, but looks like it's going down. So at least two more years of our quaint little sewer of corruption on Smith Hill.

The rest of the state couldn't be more boring, almost all the incumbents won, as expected. And it will be a miracle if we find out who wins Ohio tonight.
