Goddamn! GODDAMN!! G O D D A M N!!! Electoral Collage Landslide! I got back in exactly 11:00 PM EST and turned on the bedroom TV as I was changing and there was Charley Gibson announcing that they officially predict Obama is President Elect with the picture saying that Obama won! Well... I knew I was going to cry but I needed an ale first so I grabbed one out of the fridge and an apple and some cheese watched all those people watching gratefully with loving open faces what looked like a Christmas miracle. So overwhelmingly cleansing and stunning, like the whole country had been a drowning victim, that had been holding its breath for years and years in Davey Jone's Locker and suddenly bursts up to the surface gasping fresh air and simultaneously reanimating miraculous to life again! This truly was new wine! Even all the ballot propositions for Medical-Grass and allowing broad Stem-Cell Research were all very widely past here in Michigan! I mean it, watching Jessie Jackson brake up like that and all those others was... well the whole thing was worth more than all the money in the world! But I'm glad I donated $50.00 to his campaign and proudly wore his buttons for nearly 18 months! ><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

I think she's just got some to hold her for a little while, but I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for for Al Franken to win. California should be ashamed of itself, what is it about California; it's such a crucible of opposing extremisms? ><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

I believe Prop 8 will be successfully challenged in the courts. It only lost because the Mormons in Utah started pouring tons of money into pro-8 advertizing.
When you think of it, it is hard to understand why people would vote to deny rights to others who are not affecting their own lives.
