Has it really been 2 and a half months?

So, that was an ass kicking. I’ve been meaning to get back on to talk election stuff, but real life happened and here I am the day after the election seeing that in all likelihood Obama will have won by 190 electoral votes when North Carolina and Missouri are official. Now troll your conservative friends myspaces and whatnot to see why many conservatives are what we refer to as low information voters. Having been a Democrat for a bit now, I’m a bit surprised we actually got out there and put him up by this much. The Democratic party is not usually a well oiled machine. Not having Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency is the most important part of having not elected McCain.

Amendment 48 got smacked down in Colorado, and a similar measure failed in the much more conservative North Dakota, which I think suggests that Roe v. Wade is here to stay. 

Sadly it’s looking like California is going to ban gay marriage again, which is a huge blow to seeing it anytime soon on a larger scale. How did we fall behind Spain on this issue, given their ties to the Catholic church?

Massachusetts decriminalized marijuana, which I think makes it the most liberal state on an official level.

I’m pulling for Al Franken, who is down by less than 400 votes at present time. We’ll see how it goes, but I’d like to see it.

I’ll probably post more later, but for now I’m out.
