November Election Pays Another Dividend

The 2014 election (actually, it's much more than that) is the gift that keeps on giving...Barbara Boxer will retire in 2016.  Being in the minority is no fun, and Babs will have none of it.

While there is no doubt that loony Californians will send another Democrat to the Senate at such time, there is at least a chance that they will send someone who is not bat-shit crazy like Babs Boxer.  The Senate could perhaps be just that less crazy as a result.  Such an outcome constitutes incremental progress such as it is, and in this day and age we can hardly afford to sniff at that.
