Any news on the gay marriage vote in CA?

The Boston Globe said it was still undecided this morning with a lot of votes uncounted.

1. 3 million absentee and provisionals still out
and only a quarter million vote plurality for "yes" at this moment.

2. Not looking good at the moment.
But it's not over yet.
Currently, those in favor of the ban are winning 52% to 48%.

It's sad that the vote would even be this close after such an amazing night.

5. The vote seems to have been close most everywhere in CA.
It's really tragic that people who would vote for other progressive measures and candidates would then turn around and support such a horrible, bigoted initiative.

I wish I could say that one group or another that caused this, but the voting results indicate that the YES vote came from many different places and groups.

Very sad, indeed.

6. I think it is safe to say with certainty that it is not
over yet. It is too close to call.
