Notes

• "lost by razor-thin margins" - razor-thin refers to a measurement of space, not vote-counting.
• "a majority of over 32,000 votes...700,000 cast...landslide" - if 32000/700000 = 5%, is winning by 5% is a landslide?
• "Among its minor accomplishments..." - not clear on what 'its' refers to: the Governor or the leglislature? I don't see how defeating a bill would be an accomplishment for a legislature composed of several parties.
  • I've tried to work this out myself, but I don't fully get it yet. Whose 'accomplishments' were these: Democrats or Republicans? Is 'accomplishments' the correct word? It's called a "do-nothing session" yet one of its accomplishments is defeating a bill?...unless they were purposely trying to make it a do-nothing session and defeating the bills helped accomplish this goal. If I'm reading the reference correctly, the ban refers to both betting and teaching and so should be plural. -maclean (talk) 20:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

• Not sure if my brain didn't go in gear this morning or what, but I see what you're saying now. I've made another attempt to clean this up that I think will make more sense. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 21:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

• Ok, thanks. -maclean (talk) 21:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

• One image: Fair use ok.

Conclusion

Good article. Just two small issues I'm not sure how to deal with. --maclean (talk) 23:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Both should be addressed now. Thanks for your review. Let me know if you find additional issues. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 14:40, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
