Official election predictions

[innerSpaceman]

Longest lines I've EVER seen at my sleepy polling place. (As in, first time there's been ANY line.) Having to wait 45 minutes to vote made it seem appropriately momentous. Obama's a foregone conclusion in California, so it warmed my heart that so many more people than usual are interested in voting today.

Aside from the presidential election that is on everyone's mind whether their vote can influence it or not ... there are a rather astounding number of very important ballot measures in California ... not the least of them Proposition 8 ... but also Props 5, 4, 2, 9 and 11.

This is really the most important election day I've ever seen in California ... and it made me almost appreciate the long line to vote.
