    I'm holding out until the next election cycle before I make a decision. I contributed to the recall efforts, but in no way am I taking those victories to mean anything has changed on the statewide scale. My county already votes in line with my values. If the state decides that they want to continue to run to the left, I'll probably be leaving.

    I think BG is on the money. That's how Morse got elected and how Clinton got elected without a majority, twice. 3rd party splits the R vote and the D gets handed the win. The Republicans have been truly uninspiring for over a decade. Nominating Dole because 'it was his turn', McCain the RINO that co-authored I don't know how many bills with Ted Kennedy, and Romney the guy that conservative Christians just can't seem to pull the lever for...that's not what conservatives are really looking for. The resistance to the Tea Party idealism by the GOP indicates to me how their interests seem to be more about maintaining power than doing what's right.

    I didn't vote. I didn't see an option for still being cautiously optimistic and not swayed by the recall efforts.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
