On the bright side, it looks like CA Prop 11 is getting similar numbers to Prop 8.

[K. A. Pital]

So, Obama crushed McPain.

Congrats, Americans.

[Havok]

Stand up talking well about McCain in that way.

[Mr Bean]

Contrast the Crowd with McCain's, Obama's folks are cheering McCain rather than booing him.

[Karmic Knight]

Wow, the reaction to McCain's name compared to Obama's name at the speeches is like night and day.

[Strider]

In MA, possession of an ounce or less or having it in your system is now only penalizable by a $100 fine and confiscation if over 18 (if under 18 they have this wacky week long thingy). Also extremely important, you can't be kicked out of a state college dorm for possession/having it in your system/the RA smelling it on you anymore.

Basically, they want it still kept on the down-low, but the penalty for getting caught is now a slap on the hand.

New puppy!

[FSTargetDrone]

History. What a time to be alive.

[TithonusSyndrome]

I'm actually really pleased with Michelle Obama as First Lady. And the kids get a puppy!

[Kodiak]

But now the question, what breed? A good American Pointer? Or a damn socialist German Sheppard? (Perhaps for humor value, A Husky or Alaskan Sheepdog. )

[Patrick Degan]

"This success belongs to you... I was never the likeliest candidate for this election."

[Havok]

I can't believe California can still be so fucking backwards on this....

[Fire Fly]

Well if things go the way they continue to, Missouri might go red. In a way, I'm kind of pleased that their bell weather status might be wrong.

[apocolypse]

Prop 8 is holding fairly steady at
55% - Yes
45% - No

Buh? I'm looking at the same page you are, and while it is holding steady it's:

54% Yes
46% No

[Bounty]

"Alliances to repair" - Yes, Obama, yes.

"We as a people will get there"

[Alyrium Denryle]

Prop 8 is holding fairly steady at
55% - Yes
45% - No

Hmm...

You know what? Fuck it. Let the fundies shoot themselves in the foot. The original ruling still stands no marriage for them either.

[Duckie]

56 Senate Democrats
40 Senate Republicans
4 Uncalled Franken looks very close with Coleman, so only 2 of those may be seizable.

217 House Democrats (almost to majority)
138 House Republicans
80 Uncalled

[Shinova]

Prop 8 is holding fairly steady at
55% - Yes
45% - No

Nooo!! This is California!! It's the land of UC Berkeley, San Francisco and the crazy, homophile liberals and hippies!! What has happened to it!?!?

[Agent Sorchus]

Obama is keeping the speech basic and to the point, he knows that he is going to have a nearly decisive control in the congress. No talk of bipartisanship or compromising in this speech.

[Patrick Degan]

"The road ahead may be a steep one. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But we as a people will get there."

[Elfdart]

Would that Madelyn Dunham and Studs Terkel could have lived to see this night.

If only Jesse Helms could see Obama win and his state go BLUE!

[Strider]

Bleh @ #8 probably passing. At least we got the witch hunts out of our system in Massachusetts a couple centuries ago.
