Republican victory in Ohio and Michigan for 2012

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The first part of the valley's high speed rail line has suddenly more than doubled in size.

Just last week, the high speed rail authority announced the line would run 54 miles from Borden on the Fresno-Madera County line, to Corcoran.
But Friday, the authority announced the line will be extended another 60 or so miles to Bakersfield.
California is getting another $600 million for the project from the federal government because the incoming governors of Ohio and Michigan don't want to support high speed rail in their states.
