Scranton.

Yeah, we don't really like this either.

This being Rick Scott, he'll probably look at how to do the most damage in that year and a half.

Name one other thing Rick Scott has done besides this and the drug testing for welfare recipients, both of which are tactics for him to direct as much business as possible to his company. He is only guilty of being a corrupt, absent Governor.

More damage? High-speed rail money rejection, hours upon hours of waiting to vote, speeding up executions.

What this legislation would do is bring Atlasia in line with international standards on a variety of environmental issues.

-The Basel Convention controls international movement of hazardous wastes - basically prohibiting transfer of hazardous wastes from here to less-developed countries. 179 nations have signed and ratified it - Haiti and us have signed it but have not yet ratified. It basically promises that we'll clean up our own messes and won't dump all our hazardous waste in Mozambique or Chad or Zimbabwe or whatever.

-The Rotterdam Convention deals with international trade of hazardous chemicals. It basically says that if we ban a chemical we have to tell other nations that we did so, and if we plan to export one of those chemicals we have to notify the nation it's being exported to. We also need to label our hazardous chemicals and, when exporting chemicals, attach guidelines on how to safely handle them.

-The Stockholm Convention restricts the production and use of certain chemicals that can remain in the environment for long periods of time, accumulate in fatty tissues, and have adverse effects on human health/wildlife - cancers, birth defects, immunodeficiencies, etc.

PLI/Coalition. No marxism, no monarchism, no mussolinism.

We have to start somewhere.

STARTING PROPOSAL FOR A NEW CONSTITUTION

There are a number of structural changes and elimination of inconsistencies - in current Article I, for instance, the discrepancies between Sections 1 & 10. Lieutenant Governor is restored (seeing as how I can't find anywhere where the office was actually abolished), as well as generic boring names (except for Lulu ). Eastern Time is adopted. Etc, etc.

We abolished the position of Viceroy with Bacon King's amendment to the regional constitution, I believe.

-You drop the current Article I, Clause 3. I like that clause - it's testament to how we've maintained the same Constitution since the beginning.

-I'd prefer the elections to begin whenever and then run for 72 full hours, to keep it standardized and prevent elections of 60-72 hours - I'd also prefer that we resolve tie votes under the procedures in the CESRA (Sections 2-4) rather than go through having a runoff, so the government runs quicker and we don't have to wait on the results of runoff elections and such.

-Why scrap the rights, liberties, and interests bit? And doesn't it make more sense to just give the Governor-Emperor authority to put legislation directly into the legislative queue instead of holding initiative elections?

-I'd like to quantify "several citizens", preferably as a percentage.

-I think PiT has already explained the opposition to special elections.

-In your section 11, we passed Hash's procedures bill and any seat where they don't post for I believe 15 days is auto-vacant.

-Change "three citizens" (Article IV) to a percentage.

-I'd like to add more clauses to Article V (your article VI) to address the use of fixin to, figure, howdy, reckon, skedaddle, tarnation, and yankee.

-Change "or" in your Article VII, Clause 3 to "and".

-Do we need to change Clause 5 in Voting Regulations to be IRV? There also needs to be something under voting regulations (valid ballots) about 'unless there is only one contest on the ballot'.

-Where did our bill of rights go?

As an informed citizen, I think the current proposed annexations are obviously the most reasonable. Can we seriously lay claim to any other Canadian territories justifiably?

Quebec also has secessionist tendencies and speaks a language distinct from the rest of the nation, much as we do. Poutine y'all.

Meh, the argument could be made - trading all the other provinces . I certainly don't like how we get the least amount of territory - the South is being contained once again. I'd at least like for us to have New Brunswick.

Indeed, indeed. Adding New Brunswick, the GDP of Atlantic Canada put together is just $97.81 billion and a population a few ticks over 2 million.

Spock/Other/Other, just to see what happens.

Perhaps the best solution is to use federal money to construct high-priority lines between regions (ones that come to mind include Nyman-Richmond-Raleigh (IDS-ME) and Dallas-OK City-Wichita (IDS-MW), though there's certainly more) while regional governments focus on intra-regional HSR and lines to less-populated areas.

Can someone define LaRouchism for me? I've read things that suggest things from "FDR on steroids" to Stalinist to Fascist. Of course, his writings are as clear and concise as the ramblings of a meth head and are of no help in defining these people ideologically.

All of the above. Imagine something like high-tariff militarized Marxism, with a dose of Ron Paul End The Fed, a bit of drug warrior, an emphasis on infrastructure projects - like a military buildup and lasers. Roosevelt-cum-Hamilton-cum-Plato. Add to that something a bit like Alex Jones - the Anglo-Dutch financial system is controlling the world economy and drug trade under the leadership of Elizabeth II. And they're using free trade to do so. Bertrand Russell and H.G. Wells are conspiring to control progress in order to control the world imperially. Kissinger is a KGB agent, AIDS patients need to be quarantined. Leo Strauss told Dick Cheney to invade Iraq and the Bush family supported Hitler. The British faked global warming alongside the communists in order to destroy America. There is no ozone hole and DDT is harmless. In order to maintain the structure of the universe the reference pitch for A in operas needs to be 432 Hz. He is also anti-Obamacare, anti-gay, anti-Semitic, anti-black except possibility not because they support the Nation of Islam.

So yeah. FDR on meth.

Warner is the clear choice.

[Senate candidate Mike Gravel (Dean Surrogate) Campaign Schedule: October 28th - November 4th]

Senate candidate Mike Gravel (Dean Surrogate) Campaign Schedule: October 28th - November 4th

This tour shall serve as a vehicle to promote both the Senate candidacy of Sen. Gravel against Sen. Stevens and the House candidacy of Mayor Begich against Rep. Young, as well as promoting the Presidential candidacy of Gov. Dean. Also featured will be State Senators Hollis French and Johnny Ellis and State Reps. Eric Croft and Ethan Berkowitz. Just assume I've been campaigning on my own behalf before then. Not very many stops per day because of reasons that are best explained by the Discovery Channel show Flying Wild Alaska. Plus, Mike is old.

With the race winding down, I'd like to draw a contrast between myself and Sen. Stevens. I respect Senator Stevens for his long history of public service and dedication to the people of this state, but it's time for him to step aside. One of our priorities should be to keep the Internet free and open - unlimited access to all sites, with you in control of your own Internet usage, a policy in support of free speech. Sen. Stevens on that policy gave a speech, you've heard about it, it's gone viral, about how "the Internet is not a big truck" but is instead a "series of tubes". Sen. Stevens also wants to heavily restrict access to social networking sites from libraries, for whatever reason, including sites like Wikipedia. I stand for environmental protection, reducing America's carbon footprint and fighting against global deforestation, a major cause of greenhouse gases. Sen. Stevens wants to completely clear-cut 2.4 million acres of old growth forest, at a cost of $200,000 to the taxpayer for every job created. I'm confident that Alaska taxpayers can find a lot better ways to spend their money. If you elect me to the Senate, I'll support comprehensive, age-appropriate sex education in order to reduce the number of abortions in this country - the rare part of safe, legal, and rare. But the safe and legal part matters too. Regardless of whether you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice, I think we can agree, here in Alaska, that we don't want big government stepping in and interfering with anyone's personal decisions. Senator Stevens says that he believes the Earth will soon start to cool. I believe that global climate change is a matter of national security, and would act to reduce carbon emissions through a collective global scientific effort. Now, I'll say it again - I have nothing but respect for Sen. Stevens and his dedication to public service, and the great things he's done for the people of this state. But we have different policy positions now, and after over six terms of dedicated public service, it's time for him to gracefully exit the Senate, enjoy retirement, go fishing instead of staying in Washington all day, but still remain as a major figure in this state.

But it's not just me running. Mayor Begich has already talked about how he's going to change things in the House, and how his record differs from Rep. Young - he wouldn't take bribes from VECO, he wouldn't be one of the most corrupt Congressmen, no random earmarks for little roads in Florida that the local community opposed. You've also got people like Sens. French and Ellis, who are really going to shake things up in Juneau in the Senate, and Rep. Croft and Rep. Berkowitz, who've also already spoken, who'll change things in the other chamber. But there's one race we haven't hit on - President. And for President, the real choice is Howard Dean. We here in Alaska, we didn't like our boys going off to die in a pointless war. And Howard Dean, and I, and Mark, we don't like that either. And Gov. Dean's the one who's going to bring em home, pursue diplomacy to end the civil war, and bring real peace to Iraq. I was one of the leading opponents of the war in Vietnam, and I was one of the first opponents of the war in Iraq, back in 2002. I'm glad that one of the people who joined me early on in opposition was Governor Dean. We've had enough people die. We'e had enough Alaskans no longer have sight, or limbs, or the ability to sleep at night because of PTSD. And we've had enough civilians dying in Iraq too. It's time to end the bloodshed, put that money towards something useful, like providing full funding for our VA system to provide the finest care for those veterans. Vote for someone else, if you want our money to continue to be spent on a pointless war overseas. But if you want that money to be spent on veterans affairs, or clean energy, or improving our public education, or cutting taxes for ordinary Americans, then the clear choice is to vote Democratic.

They are the results, but a few of them will be going to recounts, including Booker and Colbert certainly, maybe Carter, maybe Tennant.

[House Update]

House Update

And now, an update in the US House so far.

Democrats are in the lead, marginally, in four crucial seats: McIntyre in North Carolina, Shea-Porter in New Hampshire, and Murphy and Garcia in Florida. They also lead in New Hampshire's other Congressional District, Nick Rahall's district in West Virginia looks good for him as well.

Republicans, however, are set to hold Benishek, Gibson, Joyce, Walorski, and Grimm's seats in the House.

Republicans look likely to pick up Georgia's 12th district with Rep. Lee Anderson, since the district has been vacated by John Barrow, and Massachusetts' 6th district, where Richard Tisei leads John Tierney, boosted by Weld and Baker in winning there. Additionally, Elizabeth Esty of Connecticut trails her Republican opponent, since Republicans persuaded former Governor Jodi Rell to take a shot at running. In New York, major disfunction on the part of the Democrats there has led to Democrats Tim Bishop, Sean Maloney, and Bill Owens (all of whom represent districts Cook PVI has as leaning Republican) running behind their Republican opponents, as is Dan Maffei. David Cicilline, threatened by low approval numbers, has fallen to the Mayor of Woonsocket, Leo Fontaine.

For Democrats, happy news comes from the state of Florida, where Republican incumbents Dan Webster and Steve Southerland appear to have been defeated, and Bill Young has finally retired, so three seats there for Val Demings, Gwen Graham, and Charlie Justice. Rigell of Virginia has lost to Glenn Nye, too, and former Senator Carte Goodwin looks to pick up an open seat in West Virginia. Former Rep. Ben Chandler has retaken his seat in Kentucky, his good fortunes boosted by the Senate race. In a stroke of luck as well, weakened by a strong primary challenge, embattled incumbent Scott DesJarlais has fallen in the heavily conservative 4th District of Tennessee, beaten by State Sen. Eric Stewart. State Sen. Gene Jeffress made it uncomfortably close for Tom Cotton in Arkansas too, though Cotton survived, barely.

Overall results so far: R+1 in the House.

[Election Results 2014]

Election Results 2014

Hello, and welcome to CNN's election night coverage for the 2014 elections. As the results are coming in, it's time to look at what's happening in gubernatorial and Senatorial contests nationwide.



In Connecticut, in their gubernatorial election, the results are very good for Republican Chris Shays. Shays, a former Representatives, was one of the most moderate Republicans in the House, though he faced a difficult fight in this Democratic state. This looks like the night's first, though certainly not the last, Republican pickup.

Connecticut Results:
Former Rep. Chris Shays: 51.3%
Gov. Dan Malloy: 47.8%
Others: 0.9%



Delaware's Senate election looks like a lock for Democrats - the Republicans again nominated Christine O'Donnell, who again appears very likely to lose. No big news here.

Delaware Results:
Sen. Chris Coons: 62.9%
Ms. Christine O'Donnell: 36.3%
Others: 0.8%



Georgia's having both their Senate and gubernatorial elections tonight, and both look like a major win for Democrats, who look to put this state in their column two years from now. Rep. John Barrow, a conservative Democrat, is in the lead in the gubernatorial election, while State Sen. Jason Carter, grandson of Jimmy Carter and a bona fide liberal, is marginally ahead in the Senate race. Really good results for Georgia Democrats here.

Georgia Results:
Rep. John Barrow: 51.6%
Gov. Nathan Deal: 47.5%
Others: 0.9%

State Sen. Jason Carter: 49.8%
Rep. Paul Broun: 49.5%
Others: 0.7%



And now Maine - they've gone full-on independent this year. The Democrats aren't that strong in Maine anymore, and seem to be deliberately fielding weak candidates, to help beat Republicans. In the Senate, State Senator Richard Woodbury looks to make this an independent pickup, while attorney Eliot Cutler is leading in the gubernatorial race.

Maine Results
Mr. Eliot Cutler: 39.6%
Gov. Paul LePage: 37.8%
Fmr. State Sen. Ethan Strimling: 20.4%
Others: 2.2%

State Sen. Richard Woodbury: 42.9%
Treasurer Bruce Poliquin: 30.7%
Fmr. Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap: 23.2%
Others: 3.2%



In Maryland, a history-making gubernatorial election has occurred, with State Rep. Heather Mizeur looking to be the first openly LGBT individual elected to a governorship - and with Maryland's Democratic lean appears to have done so pretty decisively.

Maryland Results
State Rep. Heather Mizeur: 54.2%
Harford County Executive David Craig: 43.8%
Others: 2%



Massachusetts is having some of the most interesting results of the night, with a resurgence of the Republican Party in this heavily Democratic state - you've got Charles D. Baker winning the Governorship, and Bill Weld getting into the Senate, major gains for Republicans here.

Massachusetts Results
Fmr. Secretary of Finance Charlie Baker: 50.6%
Fmr. healthcare administrator Donald Berwick: 47.6%
Others: 1.8%

Fmr. Gov. Bill Weld: 51.9%
Rep. Ed Markey: 46.9%
Others: 1.2%



New Hampshire, just to the north of Massachusetts and far more competitive in presidential elections, has had a relatively uninteresting cycle compared to the state directly to the south. In both races, the Democratic incumbents are fairly safe.

New Hampshire Results
Gov. Maggie Hassan: 56.6%
Fmr. Rep. Jed Bradley: 42.5%
Others: 0.9%

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen: 53.7%
Mayor Ted Gatsas: 43.2%
Others: 3.1%



A very tight race in New Jersey. Incumbent Sen. Cory Booker is facing a strong challenge from Lt. Gov. Kim Guadango, who looks like she just might eke this out. Although this wasn't expected to be close until a few weeks ago, Guadango has run a good campaign and Booker hasn't been a hyper-active campaigner (believing himself to be safe, he hasn't poured in as much money) - this election certainly looked headed to a recount.

New Jersey Results
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadango: 49.3%
Sen. Cory Booker: 49.2%
Others: 1.5%



It appears as though the hype surrounding the New York gubernatorial race possibly being close wasn't really justified at all. Although Cuomo is underperforming his 2010 performance against Ball, he's still doing pretty well and will be re-elected.

New York Results
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: 55.3%
State Sen. Greg Ball: 43%
Others: 1.7%



Kay Hagan faced Sue Myrick - certainly not the strongest Republican candidate. She's performed pretty well over the course of the campaign, highlighting some of Myrick's more extreme positions while playing up her own moderate credentials.

North Carolina Results
Sen. Kay Hagan: 55.6%
Rep. Sue Myrick: 42.8%
Others: 1.5%



This has been a pretty easy election for John Kasich, leading Democrat Richard Cordray in the polls for the course of the campaign, the Republicans look to hold Ohio, and possibly make some further inroads into the Rust Belt. Kasich is a pretty big Republican player so there was some investment to make sure he was safe, but his prospects have been good from the start and not much was really needed.

Ohio Results
Gov. John Kasich: 56.2%
Fmr. Attorney General Richard Cordray: 43.6%
Others: 0.2%



In a significantly closer election, another Rust Belt Republican looks to hang on to his seat. Gov. Tom Corbett is just barely clinging to an electoral lead, but it's there, and he leads Schwartz by enough to win.

Pennsylvania Results
Gov. Tom Corbett: 50.3%
Rep. Allyson Schwartz: 49.7%



But perhaps that Republican resurgence isn't limited to just Massachusetts. In Rhode Island, incumbent Senator Jack Reed is facing former Red Sox ace Curt Schilling in what has turned into a hard-fought race, largely due to the pitcher's popularity among baseball fans. But the real race is for Governor - incumbent Lincoln Chafee (D) was polling slightly behind Republican Brendan Doherty and Moderate Ken Block.

Rhode Island Results
Fmr. State Police Superintendent Brendan Doherty: 46.1%
Gov. Lincoln Chafee: 43.6%
Mr. Kenneth Block: 9.6%

Sen. Jack Reed: 56.9%
MVP Curt Schilling: 41.2%
Others: 2%



And now we go to South Carolina, where both of the state's Senate seats are up for election, as is the governor. Democrats look to do well here, running a couple of local-oriented campaigns attempting to retake lost ground, while ignoring one of the seats to focus on the two others. Lot of big money flowing in here, though, means that a recount could be necessary here as well as in New Jersey.

South Carolina Results
State Sen. Vincent Shaheen: 53.7%
Gov. Nikki Haley: 45.6%
Others: 0.8%

Fmr. Gov. Jim Hodges: 51.9%
Sen. Lindsey Graham: 47.4%
Others: 0.7%

Sen. Tim Scott: 49.9%
The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.: 49.8%
Others: 0.3%



In Vermont, we have a contest of new vs old - incumbent Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin faces former Governor Jim Douglas, with both being popular figures. However, Vermont's newfound Democratic lean appears to be able to carry the day, with Douglas' veto of a same-sex marriage bill in 2009 being a major campaign issue.

Vermont Results
Gov. Peter Shumlin: 56.3%
Fmr. Gov. Jim Douglas: 41.1%
Others: 2.2%



And for the final update of this cycle, we look to West Virginia, a state of significant Democratic strength on a local and state level but one that is very Republican nationally. Popular Rep. Shelley Moore Capito has been locked in a tight race against Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, and the results have been bouncing back and forth all night.

West Virginia Results
Secretary of State Natalie Tennant: 49.3%
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito: 48.8%
Others: 1.9%

Moreover, wishing a genocidal totalitarian dictatorship on one's own countrymen as opposed to a semi-authoritarian regime overseas is insane.

Yep.

Yeah, we don't really like this either.

[1]Paul/Huntsman
[2]Schweitzer/Warren

Tough call though. Either would offer a big contrast with Cain.

She needs to go away.

Liberalitarian. Think fusionism but the opposite.

This could be interesting.

[on the Atlas]

Politically speaking, if someone with my views on the Atlas runs for president, he/she will be trounced in the popular vote a la McGovern in 72 LaRouche in 76.
