Election Day, 2014, Massachusetts

[merrily]

Not highlighted:

Falchuk got just over 3% of the vote, which is what he was aiming for. I am sure he and his Party would have welcomed a greater percentage, but he got what he needed.

Three Green Rainbows ran, though none for Governor. http://www.green-rainbow.org/

All lost, of course. (I'm embarrassed that I did not even know the Green Rainbows had sued the Secretary of State!)

Just as a gut reaction, not based on research, ballot questions seemed to go the way of those who spent a lot of money on TV ads.

I voted the opposite of the way I thought the big ad buy spenders seemed to want me to vote. I did hesitate some about automatic tax indexing, though. I think accountability is important, though perhaps it is more of an illusion than anything else.

And, again, our very own Scott Brown lost in New Hampshire. That makes me smile every time I think of his cynical, Koch loving smirk.
