And in Michigan, both Medical Marijuana and Embryonic Stem Cell research proposals PASSED! Woooooooot! The ads against the stem cell research were brutal, showing half cow/half humans in one ad, embryo production companies in one and comparing to the Tuskegee Experiment in one! I'm so glad the majority of Michiganders didn't fall for that. There "2 goes 2 far" signs all over the place and hardly any "Yes on 2" signs. I truly didn't think it would pass. The Pro-Lifers were totally against it. But, it passed!
Yay for South Dakota!
Boo for California and Arkansas. I was ashamed in 2004 that Michigan voted that marriage was only between a man and woman. I've debated that one ad nauseum here...
No, this does not mean the end of the Republican Party any more than George Bush and a solid Republican Congress/Senate meant the end of the Democratic Party. But, it is OUR turn to celebrate! We get a shot at fixing things now, we can only hope that we're successful.
GOBAMA!
