I'm in MA: I think Harry Reid should have been thrown out -- but who cares what I think? The people in his state think he's pretty cool and wanted to keep him.
Term Limits may be a good idea, since they would block people from serving 30 years as "public servants".
On another topic: People take this same attitude with budget cuts. Everyone wants to cut the budget. Everyone sees waste and fraud and abuse. But as soon as any cut is proposed, people jump up and say "Sure, we need to cut the budget -- but not there! Are you crazy??
Budget cuts are hard, because every stupid piece of the budget has fans who can't let go. My position is: I support any cut, to any program, in any amount. No scared cows. I just want cuts, and I deny myself the luxury of saying "Oh, but not there." Show me a proposed cut and I will support it.
But many people want to protect their congressman and want to protect their pet program.
Some of the local races were tighter than normal (I’m talking state assembly races), but if we get a Dem governor, we are f-ed. That is still too close to call right now.
Dem state house and senate with a Dem Gov = Tax, tax, and more tax.
I’m with you, I never saw a cut I didn’t like. Some of my friends parrot they want cuts, but when it comes to their local property tax and school budgets it’s “Oh, not that. We can’t cut that” and up goes my mill rate.
