and the senate is more evened up instead of overwhelmingly democratic. And my new governor is a republican, he was tea party backed and runs on a platform of reduced spending and more job creation, which is what this state needs.

Even year elections are more important (Especially this year, new Senator and new Governor here, as well as House and State legislature) but off year elections are more quirky. Back in 2007, County Coroner was on the ballot. And both parties ran candidates. I actually had to verify with someone at the polling place that the County Coroner was indeed, in charge of cutting up bodies. I wish I had gotten some campaign material, it'd be interesting to see what positions they have.

I went a perfect 5 for 5 in election results.

All I can say is, I hope that the people who went out and bought six new AR-15s (for over $1K each) and 1,000,000 rounds of ammo the day after the 2008 election feel like retards now.

It was soooo obvious back in '08 that this administration was going to piss off the American public with healthcare and failed economic reforms a LONG time before they got around to even thinking about gun control, and that Congressional turnover in 2010 would destroy their ability to dictate domestic policy. And yet I still saw a million people on gun message boards who were going into hysterics and swearing that we'd all be surrendering our "evil-looking black rifles" and 30-round mags to the ATF by this time. I'm still bitter about all the morons who told me that I was "naive" for thinking otherwise.

Barack Obama may prove to be the greatest gun salesman of all time.

I'm am sort of mad but sort of happy with those guys. They made it way easier to get guns like S&W 3rd Gen autos and older, rare gun because they were being skipped over in favor of AR's. However, I do not like the fact that it was and still is so difficult to get certain calibers

Did ya'll have to use the electronic voting machines or were you able to do a paper ballot? They were going to use the voting machines here but they were destroyed in a fire "in an accident" that was in no way an arson

I don't mean to veer this threat off course anymore, but I just saw this on CNN.

Oh, and 83 degrees and sunny in LA? In November? The next time anyone from Cali complains about gun control or the state of finances there, I'll pull out my world's tiniest violin for them.

Very well said...i had the same opinion back then as well...Obama's team has done more for gun rights then bush ever did...but i did enjoy all the business last year and people were paying in cash...pure craziness.
