An educated electorate made a great decision. My questions are how did this happen? and what can the rest of us learn? We need to copy the education methods so as to be sure people know what their vote means. Yesterday Colo voted for education and Ohio voted against monopolies. This encourages me.

the next ten years to raise money for building schools and updating equipment/materials for the classroom.

This was the only issue on the ballot and it won with 61% of the vote.

People care about education in this country and the cynical politicians who are trying to undermine our public school systems by syphoning funds meant for public schools into privately run charter schools may be in for a surprise in the not too distant future.

in example, and tax levies were approved over the objections of the "strangle the government" crowd...to mention a few.

What is with all the Doom and Gloom from Democrats over last nights' election results, seen as a whole? See, this is a problem....this attitude.

If you really want a revolution, I would say this then, kiddies, you have to cut out all the Doom and Gloom!

How do you carry a left wing social revolution led by young folks to success while carrying such a heavy dose of old style left wing blues?

The downer messaging and "Feel the Bern" - vote Uncle Sanders or he will stick a hot poker in your eye, son! - is not attractive to enough to the young folks that of course everyone left of Ailes the Hut wants to get going and vote.....which I think Kentucky proved last night yet again, where these mythical hordes of young folks stayed away from the polling booths in droves yet again....maybe it is so they can complain loudly for another 4 years about their healthcare when it is taken away, who knows?

More and better messaging for the young folk for the entire Democratic Party, including a recalibration by Sanders, stat! is the message from last night.

The young folks, they are not entertained!

Sanders supporters are not hearing a message of doom and gloom. We're hearing a message of hope if we can manage to throw out supporters of the status quo which sucks to the max. There is NO DOWNER MESSAGE!

Prices have been going way down, making the .3 tax multiplier less of an issue.

Schools are bad out here, they need the $$. If I lived in Denver City my kids would be going to private school.

Now, if we can fork over some of that money to our roads...

Norquist is notorious anti-tax idiot in the America. If anyone isn't aware of this now about Norquist's scheme, he not only wanted to abolish the taxes and government, he also wanted to take our rights away from labor rules and tax returns. He want all taxes to go straight to corporations to initiate the trickle-down economy, expand the stores of Goodwill and Savers, and to de-regulate the rules to allow VW affiliated companies to circumnavigate the emission rules.

Norquist may lose this one but he is already scheming his way around this vote by Coloradoans.

that Goodwill has a special exception to not pay minimum wage. In fact they pay some people ( blind and other disabled) $.01/hour saying that them having any job at all is what matters.
