Well, that didn't take long. Abby was called a terrorist lover at school today.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hey, some terrorists are HAWT.

Obama was called the winner very early, and there were probably a lot of people in California for whom Prop 8 was significant but not enough to get them to the polls once they knew Obama had won. The kind of people who think equal rights for gays doesn't impact their lives.
Connie, you might have something here. The urgency we felt in the early states must have been blunted for the late voters. Yet another reason people CANNOT take their votes for granted! It always counts!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had to vote after work yesterday and pretty much knew Obama had CA, so I went in mostly to cast my No on 8 vote.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Obama was called the winner very early
Only in the blogosphere - none of the networks called it until the West Coast polls had closed.

That graphic shows the people that voted more Republican as a band that goes through Appalachia and the Ozarks. Maybe that region of the country is just more racist? It also has Louisiana voting more Republican, but that's because so many people left since 2004.

None called it officially, due to rules about poll closings, but there were lots of statements on TV about how the McCain camp was admitting they didn't have a way to get enough EVs. Some states were shoo-ins. Utah was called for McCain 5 seconds after our polls closes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's hard to feel really good today with the Prop 8 results as they are. But I know that in 4-6 years the tide will certainly turn. At this point the fact that a simple majority can amend the constitution is to our benefit.
