Obama shoots.......... and scores. The way the EV count is, he hit nothing but net. As I am typing this, I can hear fireworks going on outside around my block.

My wife just called my brother in law to place my mother in law on suicide/dunk off her ass watch. My in-laws are about as hard core (R) as you can get so my wife and I are having a quiet chuckle over how crushed they are.

I think Prop 8's results will go long through the night. It's projected to be pretty close.

The Fox coverage is gold, although watching Karl Rove declare this a day 'all American should celebrate' made me feel lsightly nauseous.

Damn.

And now Senator Obama (he's not President Elect until the Electoral College votes if I am remembering correctly) has to watch everything he does, because everything he does from here on out will be used against him in '12.
