    Maryland joins the progressive states and legalized gay marriage.

    I feel this may be a turning point in American politics. Maybe now the GOP will reject the Tea Party right and become more moderate.

    I can only hope. GOP has just lost a reasonable and moderate Scott Brown to a leftist moron, and I can't help but blame the tea party for it.

    I also think the Todd Aiken debacle contributed to the nationwide boot of GOP candidates.

    It is rather hard getting respect when high ranking members are seen as intellectually challenged by anyone with the ability to, say, google.

    Well, now that's settled, let's abolish the Electoral College and chuck every electronic voting machine off a cliff.

    Can we make a deal?

    Also, now is the time to talk about voter IDs and so forth. Not in the three months leading up to a national election. Now.

    Holy ****, this seems like tremendous, major news, or am I missing something? We gonna need some 51-star flags?

    Puerto Rico wants to become the 51st state of the US

    Voters in Puerto Rico have supported a non-binding referendum to become a full US state.

    The measure will require approval from the US Congress, but President Barack Obama has said he will respect the vote.

    The island is currently a US territory, which uses the dollar and whose citizens travel on US passports.

    If you could time their admission to coincide with the secession of Texas you would not need to change the flag...

    Wow... between that and the legalization of marijuana measures, we've certainly got more than our usual share of unusual referendum results to chew on. I've lived my entire life under a 50 star flag with 100 senators... it will screw up all the nice even numbers!
