Amendment 2 in FL is dangerously close to passing.
Needs 60% to pass, and is now at 59.4.

Ugh.

2. In Orange, where I live, about the same percentage went for Obama
as voted yes on the amendment. Crazy.

11. They must not have understood it.
This is crazy. It looks like the Dems have done a wonderful job in this campaign to offset right-wing lunacy everywhere else. This is unexpected.

4. It'll be close, but I think It'll end up just short of 60%
Nothing to base that on but gut instinct, though.

9. Defines marriage as being between a man and woman.
Just shouldn't be a political issue, in my opinion. But, yanno, they have to "protect" marriage from Elton and Ellen.

7. I did what I could, and brought a friend too.
The I-4 Corridor fundies won't rest unless they can embarrass Floridians to future generations. It's the only thing they're actually good at.

12. Now, it is above the 60% required for passage.
With the mostly Republican panhandle yet to come in. Doesn't look good.
