They really like Huckabee?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

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.

Jessica, www.someecards.com has great cards. Don't know if they are dad appropriate.

As bummed as I am, THIS is the silver lining. My students were all BUH? Prop 8 is CRAZY. Which is kind of cool. Because it means there is hope for future change.
