It's Not Over Until the Fat Lady Sings

"The legal equivalent of the Bat Signal has just gone up from Cleveland," writes Keith Olbermann. "The Kerry Campaign isn't going to concede until the last lawyer is spent in Ohio."

Well, it seems like Bush has all but declared victory. I've actually gotten up early and retrieved the paper (before neighbor gets a swipe at it) and scanned it. Frontpage in large letters, "Ohio Up for Grabs; Bush Has Slim Lead" and below it in slightly smaller letters, "In heavy turnout, California OKs stem cell initiative." I suppose we all win some and then lose some.

The voters who voted in California yesterday know, that if all they followed were the presidential campaign, they were not qualified to cast a vote on the plethora of other propositions and measures slammed in their face on the ballot. Proposition 66 (the repealing of The Three Strikes Law) did not pass; Three Strikes still hold. Stem Cell research, as stated in the LA Times, did pass in California. And in 11 other states, gay marriage is now banned! So election time is not only to vote for the guys in office, but also some of the actual laws that affect the citizens and the residents and the aliens (let's not forget the aliens, hmmm?).

Blogger is currently doing something weird -- the sign-in page seems to have been altered/re-designed, and as everytime they do this, the pages are not loading, so I am attempting to e-mail this post in, and who knows how long that takes/if it gets posted at all. So let me give the actual time of blogging: Currently 8:23 AM on November 3, 2004.
