1. I'm not even gonna try to get any sleep tonight...

Wouldn't be able to with Prop 8 weighing on my mind. Ah well. I have faith in my brothers and sisters from Cali.

This divide is no huge surprise, in California, and I'm proud to say in my county Prop 8 was TROUNCED, but the Yes campaign was well funded their ads, while completely full of shit, were everywhere.

3. Yeah but notice something... they have only counted 10% in LA county

and I gave money too

It will be close

The exit polls have it winning 52-48

And it is starting to tighten

Oh and San Diego has not moved either...

So I tell you... this is a nail biter

4. Thank you, I will keep hope alive for awhile

This one means a lot to me
