Post-Election Article Revelations

So the general election is finally over. Nearly $1 billion dollars in outside money, lots of stress, lots of duress, and lots of patience were spent only to keep, essentially, the same government. So what happens now? The necessities. Get ready to hear the terms "fiscal cliff," "compromise," "taxes," and my favorite, "middle class America". Perhaps "Iran" should be thrown in for good measure.

Anyways, here're a few pieces I put together on the direct implications of the elections and the various issues you'll likely be hearing about over the coming months:

• Colorado and Washington Legalize Marijuana, But Federal Battle Looms.
• Boehner Extends Offer On Fiscal Cliff.
• The Election's Biggest Winner: A Man Named Nate Silver.
• Citizens United: The Biggest Non-Issue Ever, Maybe.
• Puerto Rico Approves Statehood, But Is It A Tease?

Hope you enjoy, hope you're informed, and above all, I hope continue to participate in this other term called "political discourse".
