You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Split of 190 electoral votes with only 30 left in play.
Very true. It looks like a 2:1 victory. Also note that the last President to win a higher proportion of the popular vote was Bush Sr. That's no small achievement. This looks very much like a realignment election to me.

Sorry to hear about Prop 8... I know in MA that the State Representatives had to do a whole lot of political maneuvering to keep similar proposals for constitutional amendment off the ballot, which seems to have given Bay Staters enough time to get used to how equal marriage actually works in practice. (i.e. no collapse of civilization as we know it, Biblical wrath, cats and dogs living together, et cet.)
The fight ain't over. My heart goes out to all whose marriages, who friends' and families' marriages are affected materially by this setback.

Good morning, New World Order. And Happy Birthday, CaBil!
CA-istas, I'm so sorry about Prop 8-- cold comfort that it was at least far closer than Prop 2 was in Florida.
Love this picture of the White House. It really does look like the storming of the Bastille.

The messiest high five ever!
No, wait. That would be the Philly cheesesteak high five.

So true. The forces of intolerances are pulling all this crap because they know they're losing ground. They should still be losing it faster.
On this note, reversing Prop 8: it's no more onerous than passing it in the first place, right? A straight plurality in a referendum? (I know it may take a while, but I'm sure demographics are on the right side in this struggle.)

Thrive to spite them
I went to bed last night and had technical problems but right now I'm listening to Obama's speech.
I can finally say again (or at least in 77 days), that I respect not only the office of the President but also the President himself. I can say that I respect the adminstration.
I can listen to a President speak because he's intelligent and doesn't look like he's a stoned frog. (seriously all I can see when I see Bush is a stoned frog).

Thank you, Buffistas, for a highly entertaining as-it-happened Election Night commentary. Nearly 600 posts, and I read 'em all.
The world is looking rather brighter from this Un-American location this morning, and not just because the sun is shining and the sky is blue.

Okay, pass over the paper towels. I just snorted coffee everywhere.
