Wow, I guess I'm biased by my region and expected it to pass easily.
Prop 8 is a ban on "gay marriage". A vote against is a vote for marriage equality.

Right, Missouri's ban passed with 70%. I'm surprised the 'Yes' vote is behind in the polls. Things are not so progressive around here, I figured CA would be more progressive but I didn't think it would be that much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not surprising for Orange County.
Oh, not at all.

Just came to post that Dana - I took the weekend mostly off politics, but this week I think I will be mainlining.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm a big ol' skipper but I'm guessing based on the congrats that bonbon and BobBob's wedding went off without a hitch? CONGRATULATIONS BonBob!

I think it probably would have before marriage was made legal for everyone here, but now it's a matter of actually taking away someone's established legal right to marriage. I suspect that's swaying some people to vote against Prop 8 even if they aren't that supportive of gay marriage.

I just finally read through all 12 state propositions. The only ones where I'm sure of my vote are #1 (high-speed rail) and #8.
I'm scared to read the 22 propositions relating to San Francisco alone.

How does California work election-wise? Being a blue state, I'm guessing the urban cores, especially LA, must dominate the vote.
In Missouri, there are two urban cores that almost exactly match everywhere else, hence being a swing state. Elections are sort of fun to watch because outstate results come in early so the election results can change dramatically as the evening goes on. To do 70%, that means outstate must have been above 90%. I live in an outstate area, so my political perspective is sort of warped.
