Ok, so the Dems are winning nationally, and that's great and all, but as of 10:25pm, Prop 90 is winning.

That stinks. Stinks, stinks,
stinks. I don't think people really understand how bad it will be if Prop 90 passes.
I know some Democrats are doing well, but if you look at the CA race, just as many seats are going to the GOP. Looks like
McClintock will win by about 2.5%...but don't worry, the Green Party candidate got almost 3% of the vote! Okay, so it's not exactly the Green's fault, but what's wrong with California?
Allegations of Schwarzenegger's sexual assault are swept under the rug in the same breath that voters decide that people convicted of sex crimes should wear GPS tracking devices for the rest of their lives. (In defense of California voters apparent
hypocrisy--the sex crimes proposition won't really be effective--it encourages sex offenders to live in close proximity with others of similar pathology, and wastes a ridiculous amount of money on tracking devices that don't prevent offenders from molesting the people they are most likely to take advantage of--family members.)

Apparently, Californians also want young people to start smoking and don't want the auto industry to
ever catch up with China's
emissions standards.

But seriously, the
campaign finance prop? Isn't anyone else sick of all the crap we get in the mail before every election? I don't watch commercials anymore, thanks to my
DVR, but I hear those are pretty darn annoying too. Why the heck wouldn't we want a cap on election spending?

All in all, I'm disappointed. Again.
