Still nothing on the Cali ballot measures but other states are listed: www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/ballot.measures/ Sheepie, I think Barack is cool, but he is not a Magic Negro. I wish your commentators weren't harping on that.

Have fun, mom. Is it bad that I want Al Franken to win solely in the hope that in an acceptance speech he'll say "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me."

Only 7.65% of precincts in Minnesota have reported, so it's hard to say how Franken is doing. But he is leading with that small reported result. I fear it'll be a close one.

If THIS McCain showed up during the elections, maybe the race would have been tighter

McCain is being very gracious in concession. Yet there is a distinct element in his crowd that are just being jerks.
