Some people on here were scared by that big concert at Red Rocks, anyway . . .

I guessed that concert was a bunch of cannabis activists:

1. Another blow for State’s rights and nullification

2. Kid Rick will probably be hanging out in CO for awhile

just, y'know, doing some research into what went wrong. Yeah. Research, that's the ticket.

3. I know a couple of young leaders around Co Spgs. That R/R concert at Red Rocks didn't scare me.

One of them is a robotics guy who will be running his dad's international business, not even slightly interested in Romney, because he saw how business is built for real, up close and personal, from his dad's garage in Kansas to . . . wherever he wants to go.

4. Arkansas Election Results: Medical Marijuana 48% - Obama 37%

Arkansas medical marijuna: 48% Yes - 52% No.
Arkansas presidential race: 37% Obama - 60% Romney

First Southern state to vote on the measure. And it almost passes!

The narrowness of this "loss" is probably bigger news, and should give make us even happier, than the victories.

This tells me we have reached the point where a Presidential candidate favoring decriminalization could win. Not necessarily win on that point. But not lose because of it.

Actually, given the fact that marijuana just gave Obama a serious ass beating in Arkansas, a major Presidential candidate might win on that point.


For the record, I am one of those who would have said as late as yesterday, that would kill a Presidential candidate's chances electoraly. But facts are facts. My opinion was not.

Oregon didn't, though . . . wondering what happened there. There are some Christian fundamentalist rooted there.
