Lots of votes.

[Tom]

Bush just got 58 million plus votes.

He got 50.46 million last time, Clinton before him got 47.4 and 44.9 millon votes, before that his dad got 48.9 million and Reagan got 54.5 million.

Bush set a new record with 58 million plus votes for him.

Here's a source.

[280]

Lots of sheep also

What happened in Montana? I heard the elected Gov. is a democrat now, but I thought they were republican up there. What's the deal there?

 

[280]

democrat governor with a republican leut governor,,no shit that is true,,beats the heck out of me how they got elected,,,lesser of the two evils I guess

 

[Nemont]

280 is correct Democratic Gov. and Republican Lt. Gov.

Any of Montana boys want to be how long it will take Gov. elect Schweitzer to be caught doing something shady. I say in the first 14 months of his govenorship.

Montana got medicinal marijuana now, I heard on the news last night. I can't believe it, wow, that surprised me. How will that work?

 

[MattK]

I think a lot of the reason Schwietzer is governor is because of the bad taste Judy Martz left with everyone (Republicans included). She very well could be the worst governor we've ever had.

As far as the medicinal marijuana, I guess people around here are caving in to the inevitable. I think a lot of states will eventually succumb to the pressures of smoking pot. I didn't agree with it but most did so it's a done deal.

 

[Tom]

How does it work? You can grow your own if you want, or you go buy it somewhere or what? Is there going to be a bunch of marijuana shops? Caving in to the inevitable?

Here's a story on it. Montana passed it big time with 68% of the votes for it, its says.

I don't even know what medicinal marijuana is. Is it like a drink, you just feel like you need a drink to relax, except you smoke pot, instead of have a beer?

 

[MarvB]

Us out here in Kookyfornia had a Dem. LT Gov. under a Repub. Gov for YEARS then ol' Gray finally made the bigtime (Governor) and got his ass promptly kicked outta office.

You must really love politics if your willing to spend years as a "placeholder"!

 

[MattK]

Medicinal marijuana has to be issued by a health care provider. It will be regulated as any prescription drug.

I would think it is the same as morphine, codeine, etc. in the way it will be "handed out"

I believe it is something most states will eventually pass if the medicinal benefits are proven.

Personally, I am not sold on the idea...

 

[Moosie]

I think they should legalize it and Tax it. It's being sold now, that would just eliminate some problems and get tax's out of it

 

[Tom]

There's no taxes in it now, how can you get them out? We could put taxes on it though, if it were legal, you got that right. So, that's what some states have done. I get it.
