Not a good night for Republican gazillionairesses
No one has called either race yet, but the exit polls show Barbara Boxer doing as well as Jerry Brown; both have 10-point leads over their self-financed opponents.
Still, credit where it’s due: Whitman and Fiorina at least did something to stimulate the economy. That’s more than you can say for anyone else in their crazy party.

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

Thanks. That made me laugh. Might be the last time for a while……….
Ouch. Tough, but fair.
If nothing else, demonstrating that buying your seat is still a risky investment is a good thing.
I wonder how Whitman (or any gazillionaire) would do if she announced that she had $140 million to spend on her campaign, but was donating it to cancer research instead, and would campaign only through speeches and interviews.
Michigan now has a Republican gazillionaire governor, former Gateway CEO Rick Snyder. The story, though, is that he is a moderate (an "Ann Arbor Republican") who won the primary because 3 high-profile and very conservative candidates (the attorney general, a congressman, and others) split the vote.
However moderate Snyder is, he will be rolling with a new house majority and a new senate super-majority. This will be key when it's time to redistrict.
Does both these races have any impact on the intense worries about Citizen's United?
Ugh, I can screw up even one sentence comments. Do both races….. lol
Fiorina major claim to stimulus-fame was sending jobs overseas, n'est pas? That kind of stimulation I can do without.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
