Election results

Voters pile on debt, nationwide including $9+ billion in California for a shiny new train.

John Matsusaka, executive director of the University of Southern California's Initiative and Referendum Institute in Los Angeles, had suggested the contracting U.S. economy and slump in consumer spending may sour taxpayers' appetite for debt.

``I thought voters would say, `We don't want to borrow because these are tough times coming,' but I guess not,'' Matsusaka said.

Tells me that taxpayers still believe in a free lunch, provided them by the Tooth Fairy. That's the same benificent being who's going to pay Obama's supporters' gas bills and mortgages, I believe - I do so look forward to the anger and chagrin that will sweep this nation in, say three years, when the Rev. Wright's chickens come home to roost.
