Sample ballot, voter information pamphlet, and clothespin for nose...

...have arrived. As usual, I’ll be posting my election research results about a week before the election. If you’re voting absentee, email me if you want a copy of my current rough draft. (A lot of organizations haven’t released their scorecards yet, and the newspaper editorials are still trickling in.)

As an alternative to all this partisan wrangling: Obey the Kitty! (Thanks to cmccurry for pointing that out. And yes, they have dog breeds too.)

I've pretty much given up on the clothespin for this election. Breaking out the woodworking C-clamps. That, or a pair of vise grips.

BTW, ran across an interesting article over on Volokh Conspiracy (http://volokh.com/posts/1222201928.shtml) that indicates some problems at times with Factcheck.org. I don't remember if you use them as part of your research, but if so, be aware that they're experiencing source-bias problems on occasion.

Yeah, the Wonk Room has found flaws as well. I like having Politifact.com to cross-check.

I like the bit of "My Greyhound makes your honor student look slow and awkward."

I always appreciate your election insights -- thank you for the work you put into this.

I've just looked at the VTA's "full plan" and the Bureau of State Audits report, as referred to in their arguments in favor of C and D, and I'm stunned. I intend to vote against them.

I haven’t dug into those yet. What stood out to you?

[kalimac.livejournal.com]

I decided to go ahead and post on them.

I am seriously looking forward to your analysis this time. I'm so confused.

Propositions 7 and 10 are definitely not green; 7 will screw up energy markets and make it harder for small producers to enter the market, and 10 is just a giveaway to T. Boone Pickens.
