Mississippi Voters Reject Anti-Abortion Measure

Tuesday Nov. 8, 2011--Voters, for the most part, rejected conservative-backed measures across the country Tuesday. Anti-labor law in Ohio, an anti-abortion measure in Mississippi (Yay, Mississippi! Way to go!), and a crackdown on voting rights in Maine.

Even in Arizona, voters were close to turning out of office the chief architect of that state’s controversial anti-immigration law. State Senator Russell Pearce, a Republican power broker and a former sheriff’s deputy known for his uncompromising style, came close to conceding the race Tuesday with a look of shock on his face. Don’t get too comfy, Pearce, either do the people’s bidding or you’ll be out on your Republican arse.

Just when the Pubs thought they rule the world, the Dems woke up and voted: Not so fast!
