Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

If you didn't hear of the murder of the Swedish Foreign Minister, you're relying on us too much for your news. Anyway, this was amidst the final stretch of the campaign for a non-binding referendum on whether to adopt the Euro. The no side had a big lead, but Minister Lindh was one of the leading proponents of the euro, and last-minute polls showed a tight race.
Based on exit polls, the noes seem to have it by five or six points. Official results are expected in a few hours.
UPDATE: The actual results are not as tight as the exit polls were.
