4. : - ((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((((

:grr: I f-ing hate blaspheming bigotry! :grr:

[amdezurik]

2. looks bad right now 54-46

reactionary bullshit

[GOPNotForMe]

3. Have hope! It's gotta be from more conservative areas so far...

because Obama's only up by the same margin and he is supposed to do WAY better than that in CA. I would keep waiting because CA is huge and only 10 percent of the vote is counted so far.

[succubus.blues]

6. I know you're right...

when they start getting the votes from the Bay Area and LA it should change...it's just really depressing to see.

[GOPNotForMe]

7. I completely understand.

[Athletic Grrl]

24. The county breakdowns aren't in yet

so we can't say where the vote is coming from, but since the Bay Area and LA generally come in late, there's still some hope.

Last time I checked, Obama's only up 55/44 and is predicted to pull close to 60, so I think a lot of this comes from the smaller, redneck counties.

I'll be so upset if 8 passes. Their campaign was typical Pub fear-mongering crap.

5. ...and how can CA be RED --- ????

[succubus.blues]

8. Cali is red

except for the seas of blue sanity in the Bay Area and LA.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. LA is passing it too

so in this little respect no, it is not. And this is way against the exit polls

So the night is still young... I HOPE

[succubus.blues]

10. fuck.

I hope we can pull this out....

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. It is only 10% so far, and the exit polls placed it as going down in flames

so the night is still young... I hope... otherwise we need to be ready to fight it

As is... the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church should be investigated by the IRS for many a violation

[JI7]

20. i saw a lot of yes on prop 8 signs in spanish , i think it was the Catholic Church

fuck them.

[defendandprotect]

11. Thought Repugs were always complaining about CA ...???

I must have forgotten .. !!

How long red -?

If Prop 8 passes that will also be sad ---

[succubus.blues]

14. Cali is blue

but if you look at it county by county, it looks really red. The red counties are not as populous.

[defendandprotect]

17. eh ... I guess I'm too tired to get this . . . eh -- good night ----

[succubus.blues]

18. I am probably not explaining this

well either. sorry.

[defendandprotect]

23. ... but I'm still hoping ...!!!

:)

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. I'll try

the further you go from the coast the redder it becomes.

It is also rural in nature. The urban centers are blue and quite the majority

That is LA and San Fran (and we might add San Diego to the list as well, as it did turn blue this election)

So when you look at a map it looks very red as a state, but most urban populations make it blue and dominate state politics... for the most part

That said, we do have some very "traditional" populations... that at times make go AGGGHHHH!

[defendandprotect]

29. No.. I meant hoping for Prop 8 to fail --

BUT ... thank you for the further effort on Red/Blue -- :)

Yeah .. I had the "AGGGHHHH!" reaction, myself --

Nite . . . this will be wonderful to wake up to in a.m. --- !!

32. Daily Kos says CALIF went BLUE ... !!!!

[politicat]

13. Watch the LA Times map

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-2008election-california-results,0,1293859.htmlstory

Most of the counties are at 5% reporting or less... let them count the votes. It'll be close, we may not win, but it'll be close. And there are always the courts, and in two years, we put it back on the ballot. And we may not win, then... but eventually, we WILL WIN THE RIGHT TO MARRY.

It will happen.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. I was looking at the exit polls earlier, let me track them down

they should be going down in flames...

Here you go

[defendandprotect]

19. I hope it's real soon in CA . . . . and that courts will begin to operate more justly --- !!!

[galledgoblin]

16. not well

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. NOBODY HAS CALLED PROP 8 guys

so this is NOT over

[Liberal_in_LA]

22. Yes, maybe they haven't counted LA county yet.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. It started but it hasn't moved

they have 10% and has not moved in about an hour

No news organization has called it... so I still have hope... given the exit polls

It will be a long night

[defendandprotect]

26. It would just be icing on the cake -- !!

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Trust me if it goes down in flames, the fact that MY RED County

went for Obama will have me doing a tippy tappy dance for a while

[defendandprotect]

30. Looks like tomorrow will be a great day -- about time --- !!

[SoCalDemocrat]

31. Not good - it will go to the Supreme Court

but it will likely be upheld by the current court. We can only hope that an Obama appointed court will strike it down and deliver equality for ALL Americans, irrespective of race, religion, or sexual preference.
