<p>One, of course, is the <a href="http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YTQ2NDFlMmVjMjZlYWRkNGU5YWUwMDkxNWMzNGI0YjA=" target="_blank">big win for marriage</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://vote.ss.ca.gov/props/index.html" target="_blank">In California</a>, while  stupid things like 1A and 2 seem to be passing, and 4 is sadly losing, at least it looks like 11 is winning. In terms of leverage to fix things in this country-sized insane asylum that could be huge. And one idiotic idea, 10, is losing. One of the best California silver linings is that Tom McClintock is ahead of Pelosi puppet Charlie Brown &#8211; but only by 451 votes. Absentee ballots still need to be counted.</p>
<p>Another California silver lining: Both <a href="http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/05/california-renewable-energy-initiatives-tank/?ref=science" target="_blank">Prop 7 and Prop 10 failed</a>. Yay!</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>:</p>
<p>Yes, 11 won. That&#8217;s about the best I could hope for around here. Let&#8217;s hope it works.</p>
