I was having a similar talk tonight, billytea. The Republicans will need a new strategy.
ION:
With 20 percent of precincts in Jerry Brown's tax, Prop 30, is slowly creeping back up. Now trails 48.5 to 51.5, with major liberal areas of the state -- LA, SF, most of Alameda County -- still not reporting significant totals.
I hope Obama enters like James Brown.
I hope he enters like Omar.
This was the least angsty election day for me in ages. I voted early, was super busy at work all day and then went to a show at Lookingglass. As I was driving home I heard that WI had been called and by the time I had the computer fired up it was called for Obama. Awesome!
Woman In Labor Votes On Way To Hospital
A 21-year-old south suburban woman found time to vote in her first presidential election, even as her baby was beginning to make its way into the world.
This tops the story my mom told me last night. The first time she voted in a presidential election was 5 days after I was born. I forget how long she said she waited in line, but even though she felt like hell she was determined to vote.
In weird local election news - Bernie Sanders is Independent. He won, no one doubted that. BUT a lot of people are pissed at Sanders and don't feel that he is representing people like he promised. One issue is his support to bring F-35s to the Burlington Airport.
But they still want to vote for Bernie. So someone people voted for Bernie as a write in candidate to still vote for him but express their disgruntlement.
Which I guess is better than voting for one of the other guys.
I want to go to bed, but they're just about to bring the President out for his speech...
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
I hope I can watch Obama's speech tomorrow because I'm already in bed.
