Oh, how sweet it is!

Democrats cleaned up big in off-year elections from New Jersey to California, sinking the candidate who embraced President Bush in the final days of the Virginia governor's campaign. They also turned back all four of GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's efforts to reshape state government.

Not much surprised me yesterday, though I was disappointed that all of the initiatives in California were defeated. Non-partisan redistricting, at least, would be useful in every state (the alternative is the usual gerrymandering).

After a fashion....these days I'm not sure one can call any political or quasi-political entity "Non-Partisian". If they are appointed by a politician, the odds are they just might be partisian too. It doesn't matter whether or not there's a card in thier pocket declaring them Demo, Repub, Libertarian, Green, whatever. IMO, YMMV, ABCD
