| 1. Not only that, but at the state level, we had a Democrat lose by 7 votes in her district. |

We only had a 56% voter turn out this year.
Lowest since 1978.
Just 8 more votes, and we would have had 1 more Democrat in our state legislature!!
When people say their vote doesn't count, they have no idea how wrong they are.

| 3. Youth turnout was horrid |
|
...and in the age of razor thin margins, getting out the vote counts more than ever

| 2. I don't see where the article said that or implied that |
|
I did see that these pukes wanted to take the money and spend it on other things instead of the rail lines.

| 4. I'll grant the article did not say that, but do the math..connect the dots... |
|
I suspect if Strickland and Feingold are still around, that money stays put. Maybe I'm too cynical.

| 6. And maybe they'd use it for what it was designated for? |

If I gave my child money for his drivers education classes and told me that he wanted to spend the money on and Xbox instead, I would not give my child the money.

| 7. Nope, Walker REFUSED the money, and its going back to the Fed |
|
... to be redistributed among other states.
Stupid, shortsighted Scott Walker. D'oh!
I feel sorry for - and angry at - my native state.

| 5. As agitated as I am with Obama at the moment... |
|
He's still light-years better than the frightening Rethug alternative (and we're still recovering from that, of course).
