Well, for our party leadership, I’d say it started in the first week of November, 1980, ended January 20, 1989, started up again the first week of November, 1994, and ran for about a year or so after that.

Yes on 8 is good.

Yes means banning gay marriage.

With the radical judges that Barack will appoint, prop. 8 is basically null and void.

So much for the will of the people.

“why would yes on 8 be good? that’d be bad”

Bad if you are a homosexual and wanted to marry another.

Gavin Newsom knows that 8 will pass. He was on TV making disgusted remarks about how we are using the Constitution to take away rights. He didn’t look happy at all. Cool!

Homosexuals have always been free to marry other homosexuals.

Prop 8 does not prevent any homosexual from marrying another homosexual.

Yikes. I wonder where those returns are from — less than 8% reporting. Nevada County, perhaps? Surely McClintock will carry Placer handily.

Sorry, but that means nothing at this point.

The small counties in California report first and are generally much more conservative than the large cities (LA and the Bay Area). The liberal vote comes in much later in California as those large cities start to report.

I’d always heard that, in CA, the absentee ballots are counted first, and they are traditionally cast by more voters who are more conservative than other voters.
