    no way. conservatism has a long time left, IMO.

    I-1000 (Doctor assisted suicide, opposed by the American Medical Association and requiring falsification of death certificates) passed up here in WA,
    as did I-1209, a big gimme to unions that couldn't even pass in our legislature,
    And it looks like Rossi is losing, because of crowds of morons in Seattle.

    At least Darcy Burner, idiot extraordinaire, is losing.

    Godspeed You Black Emperor

    I'm glad that you Euro fellas are happy with this outcome. It must be hard year after year to be utterly ruled by a president whose election you have no sway in, eh? Maybe this will take away the sting.

    If Obama stays to the right where he has positioned himself during the election and doesn't sign that FOCA, I may warm to him. He is easily likable and as long as prop 8 passes and Foca stays off the table I wont writhe in agony all that much.

    I'll be glad when Obama shows sufficiently more practical, common, political sense than Bush -- in office. The fact that America & its media are voluntarily almost isolated from the rest of the world (missile shield, almost sounds like Bush was even detached from the 'real' American world) is telling.

    Ah well, if the (ironically, US American) futurologists get it right this will be the Century of China anyways -- so we need not worry about USA as much; then we can all (US Americans more than anyone, 'cause it's Chinese money the US Americans are living off) be happy when the 'right one' next Chinese Communist Party President gets voted to power.

    America has chosen McObama. The Game is over for Ocain. If he could help the rest of the world...

    BTW, welcome back Beirut!

    well, we dont know if he will show better practical, common, political sense than Bush....
    not until he gets into office.

    so "when" isnt correct here, but "if," IMO.

    Yes. You are right: Obama isn't in office yet.

    The hardest part was seeing such a powerful nation being represented by that anti-president Bush. So yes, we're all pretty happy with this.

    Even if (no on) 8 passes why would that be a black mark against Obama? He had nothing to do with it. It's a state issue.
