Governors Preparing to Leave

Over the nest few weeks, a number of prominent governors will be stepping down due to being defeated in election, reaching their term limits, pursuing a different career, or leaving politics because of a scandal. Some of these governors include Schwarzenegger from California, Crist of Florida, Richardson of New Mexico, and Paterson of New York. Some of the governors are leaving office as early as tomorrow. It's out with the old and in with the new for a lot of states as we head into the new year, and we'll have to see how, and if, this changes state policies.

Politics Year in Review

First I'd just like to start out by apologizing for my sparse posting the past two weeks. I had finals to finish up the semester and then enjoyed the holiday without getting online much. But anyway, things are starting to return back to normal and so will my posting.

Anyway, since Christmas is over and now we're looking forward to the New Year, I found this year in review video on CNN and thought it was pretty interesting. They don't bring up the obvious stuff, but some of the funnier stuff you might have forgotten about. Check it out.
