I wanna be elected

The mid term elections are over here, and it would appear that the Democrats have wrestled control away from the Republicans of both the House of Representatives (think the Commons) and potentially the Senate (think an elected House of Lords). This years campaigning was apparently the most negative and dirtiest campaign ever but my memory seems to tell me that they say that every election year.

If the adverts were to be believed if the Democrats won control then everything would go to hell in a hand basket. In reality I woke up this morning and came to work and nothing had changed. It was similar to the 1997 General Election in the UK when Labour won for the 1st time in 18 years, if you had believed the press then the day after the election I was going to wake up to find that Labour had destroyed the very fibre of British life and changed the country beyond recognition. In reality this didn’t happen and ultimately it is not going to happen here.

Arnie (I am not even going to attempt to spell his surname) was re-elected governor by a landslide so another 4 years of the Governator, which means that Downtown Sacramento will still be able to sell their T-Shirts with that legend on it.

All of this news overnight and what did the TV station lead with? RAIN!!! Yes we have had a bit of rain and that was the headline news.
