Mostly local stuff for me. Incumbent Ron Sims won King County Executive! I can keep my job for a couple more years. I-912 Repeal gas tax initiative failed (*Sigh of relief*). I can keep my job for a couple more years.

The other big one I wanted to fail, didn't.
I-901 expanded, greatly, anti-smoking laws. All, except tribal, restaurants, tavern, lounges, casinos, businesses, places of work are now non-smoking. Smokers must now stay 25 feet away from any entrance when smoking. I'm a non-smoker but I felt the State was too intrusive into property rights and what can and can't be done in a private business and should stay out. (OMG, that sounded so right wing)

I also liked that Arnold lost on all his initiatives. And that Bush got a black eye supporting the losing Governor for Virginia.

How was everyone elses elections/defeats?
