Tim Walz is campaigning on the slogan "We Are Not Going Back", implying he's deeply irresponsible and forgot to turn his clocks back on Saturday. (self.truthabouttimwalz)

Is this the man we want running for vice president? Knowing he could be off by an entire hour at any time?

I'm what Arizona doesn't do it, why are they special snow flakes?

Arizona stays on standard time year-round. Any state could choose to do it tomorrow, easy-peasy.

Several states have passed bills to observe daylight savings time year-round, which for reasons I don't understand requires Congressional action to implement.

I know some people get heated over this, but I'll say it: year-round daylight savings time is dumb. The number on the clock is arbitrary; it's the semiannual change that's problematic. We should leave Congress out of it, stick to standard time, and put this issue to bed already. There's no need to permanently cosplay as the timezone to your east.

I was about to say "yeah, but" and mention some stuff about seasonal depression, car accidents, etc... but maybe you're right. Both sides somehow have studies supporting their way of doing it, so maybe the path of least resistance is the best way.

Indiana used to be that way. Then Mitch Daniels ran on a "get Indiana on daylight saving time" campaign that (I can't imagine how) was not a winning platform. But he became governor a few years later and then implemented that plan and now we all hate it but Republicans still get elected because it's Indiana.
