CA also voted for Reagan and Schwartzenegger as Governor. I lived there for 10 years, and f*ck me if I predicted one of the poll results correctly. Besides, given California's trend-setting proclivity for extremes, there's not much difference practically speaking between fascism and communism. :grin:

McCain is up by 0.04% in North Carolina. Jesus.

And the news people are busy speculating about what McCain will say in his concession speech already. :D

I still want to know where Florida lands, but it looks like my area of the state came through. My Seminole and Orange (of which I live/work in) did, and really helped, but I'd like to see the final results there.
