[lbo-talk] Gropenator brought to his knees

[Wojtek Sokolowski]

It looks more like a Pyrrhic victory to me.  It may be a kick in the
Gropenator's balls, allright, but it was like dumping a baby with the bath
water.  Some of defeated measures seemed to have merits- anti-gerrymandering
and to regulation of prescription drugs, no?  Also, the anti-union and
anti-abortion measures almost passed - whereas the anti-gerrymandering and
prescription measures were soundly defeated.

So I see little reason for optimism - conservative outlook still prevails,
people got merely pissed off with Bush's monumental blunders.
