I am trying not to smile ridiculously, but I did go high five the other out and oroud liberal in my department. Good Times.
YAY CA!! Oh I hope this is a step out of your economic nightmare.
And YAY marriage equality.

So a really conservative relative has "May God have mercy on our country" on her facebook today.
I kind of want to say something but I'm not even sure I should try.

So because I love me some schadenfruede I turned on talk radio this morning. I have no idea where the big name folks are on the dial, but I came across a local show that was saying that the "voters that count. the ones who are the workers and who have families, those voters went for Romney. 18-29, those are kids...." It was the weirdest argument this lady was making. She doesn't value young adult and single women so their votes do not count?!? ANd is that break down even right? Did Romney really win the 30-50 vote nationwide?
Then I hit upon a religious show where the message was that the pro-life and conservative religious in AMerica just need to double down on firing up the base and educating believers. !!! so tone deaf.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dan Savage:
Obama endorses marriage equality, Dems endorse it in platform, and Obama wins the White House. Let this be the end of the gay wedge issue.
Fuck yeah!

OK, asking the hiveminfd because you are faster than Google: Did Minnesota NOT approve marriage equality? I thought they voted yes, or is it still being counted?
And does anyone have a link to voter turnout, especially by gender and ethnicity?
(I have given myself 20 more minutes on waking up and political follow-up before I get my ass to work.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Another thing I'm hearing: did Puerto Rico vote in favour of statehood?
Yes. It's a referendum that would still have to be approved by Congress, which I'm not a whole lot more confident about than Congress's will to, say, let DC be a real boy state.

They rejected an anti-marriage amendment like the one that NC (ptui!) approved this year. Doesn't change the fact that there's still an anti-equality law, but at least they didn't get the amendment version through.

Strix,
MN had to vote no to vote yes so marriage equality is 4-0 this election.
