    T-5 minutes until California polls close. (And some other states too.)

    I'd tell you how the marriage equality and legalization of marijuana initiatives were doing here in WA, but with 0% reporting so far, it would be difficult to do so. :)

    I don't know, but virtually every American uses ATMs and trusts them completely. That's how I envision voting should be in my head.

    I wonder when Mitch McConnell will give his speech saying his #1 political goal will be to deny Obama a 3rd term.

    If Obama wins, I'm putting out the flags -- both the USA and California flags. My neighbors will figure it out. :D

    By the way, I left work, picked up my kid, voted, and then came home and opened a bottle of wine. Can you tell? :D

    The opening to Jon Stewart's show utterly and completely rocked.

    Obama is winning Koochiching County in Minnesota with 56%. Doesn't really matter, I just love saying Koochiching

    Also pro gay marriage is up by 12% in Minnesota

    As someone who always splits his ballot, this comment pissed me off to no end.

    Off to The Daily Show for the time being!

    So Obama stands at 243. Florida would put him at 272. It's that close to being over.

    If they're calling this for Kaine already, doesn't that mean Obama will likely win, too?

    This feels so close. Virginia or Colorado or Ohio or Florida. Pick any one. But none of them is quite in the bag yet.

    It helps, but no. Kaine ran as a non-partisan, and he was a reasonably popular governor in his own right.

    Kaine will run stronger than Obama in and around Richmond.

    Steve Schmidt is really, really good. Even when I don't agree with him, I don't think he's trying to bullshit me, I think he just sees things differently. And that's OK.

    Anyway, he's making the point that Romney looks to be winning 60-61% of the whtie vote, and says the last time a candidate did that was 1988, when Bush I won over 400 electoral votes. And then he talked about that disastrous Cali anti-immigrant initiative from ~20 years ago that killed the GOPs in Cali. And he's saying there's a deeply disturbing trend from the GOP perspective. Good stuff.
    ???

    My comment, or Mitch's?

    Surprisingly people still split ballots.

    It cuts the other way too. They called Wisconsin in 5 minutes, but Tammy Baldwin is still in a dogfight
