Vertigo - it's like being tipsy, but without the enjoyable side benefits of feeling good and releasing inhibitions. Woo. (wait for it) Hoo.

5 am - Prop 8 - 90% reporting. 52% yes, 48% no. Still not being called because the votes aren't all counted & difference is less than 30k.

2008-11-04T21:59:00.001-08:00

With 22% reporting, Prop 8 is still winning with 54% of vote. CRAP!

2008-11-04T21:03:00.001-08:00

KCBS - 10% reporting. Yes on 8 leading 54% to No on 8 46%. {insert major expletives here} Plenty of time to change... PLEASE...
