I'm not sure why I even check in on Michelle Malkin:
Conservatism did not lose
... The GOP lost. Conservatism prevailed.
The House? Gone. The Senate? Hanging. The majority of state governorships? Gone. And, oh yeah, this:
In a triple setback for conservatives, South Dakotans rejected a law that would have banned virtually all abortions, Arizona became the first state to defeat an amendment to ban gay marriage and Missouri approved a measure backing stem cell research.
Some people can just never stop lying. It's like it's ideological or something.

Some of these Conservatives are truly delusional. However, they're pretty good at the fine art of spin, and that all this is. The Democrats won-that's a fact. Facts don't need spin. Let's hope this Liberal trend filters north as well.
CC,
Mader does a good job of rounding up all the other decisions made by voters on these issues, from here.
Same sex marriages have been banned (or look to be banned) in seven of eight states considering the question. Slot machines are illegal in Ohio. All three efforts to legalize marijuana have failed. Michigan has banned affirmative action. And at least five of six efforts to raise the state minimum wage have passed - most by a significant margin.
Not really making a point (it seems pretty divided between what most would consider 'conservative' and 'liberal' positions) other than I don't know why every just focuses on these three decisions in SD, AZ and MO.
Olaf quotes:
"Same sex marriages have been banned (or look to be banned) in seven of eight states considering the question."
I didn't even bother to follow the link Olaf supplied, but I'm going to ask him a fairly straightforward question: Does he even know which eight states those are? And, additionally, can he list them for us without looking them up?
CC,

No I can't... I had to look them up (CO, ID, SC, SD, TN, VA, WI). Should I make it a practise of memorizing the results of votes on same sex marriage? Were the statistics I quoted incorrect if I haven't committed them to memory?
As I said, I wasn't trying to make a point at all other than that 3 referendums don't a liberal triumph make. I mean, if you're going to call someone a liar, it would be more convincing if you selected more than 3 ballot measures out of about 25 to make your point.
I have a feeling what I've said here somehow makes me a idiot... but how?
Ti-guy? Care to advise?
