It looks like our Oregon turned a darker shade of Blue today.

2. Good, because I'm going to move there someday. n/t

4. It's pretty good for sure

Although I think people are going to be very sorry about the eminent domain legislation, and still think it's silly that people rejected basing insurance on risk instead of credit. Otherwise, it's good to know this state is really rejecting the radical right.

5. Speaking as someone who stupidly ruined my credit,

I would love to see my insurance based on my driving record. I've had one ticket and no accidents in 36 years of driving.

:::sigh:::

6. Yes, and now the voters think that if you make a late payment to Sears, your insurance

rates should go up. WTF?

Credit Scores should be used for just that: Credit applications.

Now they are used for "background searches" for jobs, insurance quotes, etc...

It's wrong.

[TriMetFan]

7. Amen to that!

9. SS numbers

Originally these numbers were only supposed to be used for social security and that was a promise made to people who didn't like the idea of being tracked through numbers. Name, Rank and Serial Number - the military didn't use SS numbers then. When I went through my dad's things after he died, he had a separate revenue number too. We're not supposed to have one number that tracks between our tax returns and credit and all the rest. People thought their private business was supposed to be just that, private.

8. Yup, it's been 16 years

since Dems had the House, Senate and Governorship of Oregon!

[BlueIris]

10. I'm so proud of my blue state.

:-)

[exlrrp]

12. Me too! Bluer than California!!

Governor: D
Senators 1 D, 1 R (d is senior)
Congress: 4 outta 5 D
Oregon House: D Majority
Oregon senate: D Majority

I enjoy living in a place where people think thats a fair balance of power

[Parche]

11. yeah

I am glad Kulongoski beat that constipated conservative Saxton.....
