Most of you won’t know this song, but it sorta fits.

(Now at 50.1 for, 49.9 against.)

My bad. It’s at 53.1 for, 46.9 against. I was looking at the wrong Prop.

It’s ahead by a little, but the more conservative districts reported first, and the lead has been shrinking. (Now at 50.1 for, 49.9 against.)

Sigh. Utterly tone-deaf special interest group: the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). I stopped giving them money after they endorsed Joe Lieberman 2 years ago, but they’re like the ex that won’t stop e-mailing you. So I’m watching the returns on Prop 8 in California (which is winning right now), and I get an e-mail from the HRC saying, “We won!” It turns out they were talking about Obama (which I’m quite happy about,too). I really think they’re PR people are totally clueless.

Josh is saying that Franken still has a good shot, with a lot of blue areas having not yet reporting.

Listening to local news (Spokane) and local reporter was standing near Dino Rossi when the networks called the race of Gregoire. He finished the interview and left the room. Reporter said the Republicans seemed really down because of the Obama win, they hadn’t really notice the call for Gregoire. Well worth staying up to watch this.
