The Good: Obama is the next president-elect! Washington now has doctor-assisted suicide! Michigan legalized medical marijuana! Another measure to define the moment of conception as the beginning of life also failed! South Dakota rejected a ban on abortions!
The Bad: Colorado passed a measure to end affirmative action. Dino Rossi is definitely going to ask for a recount (says me, not a credible news source). It is too close to call the results of a California proposition that would require parents of minors to be notified 48 hours before an abortion procedure. If that goes through, it will definitely go down to the Ugly.
The Ugly: It looks like California will pass a ban on same sex marriage, along with Arizona and Florida. It also looks like Arkansas voters will pass a ban on unmarried couples being able to adopt (a not so cleverly masked ban on gay couples adopting).
Really trying to focus on the Good right now, but kind of having a hard time because the Ugly is...really ugly, especially the Arkansas measure and the pending California measure. Can I ask, though...When did California turn into such a conservative state? Yes, they vote democratic, but I am shocked the two propositions to end gay marriage and require abortion notification are and might pass.
Dino's conceded though. So that can take out some of the bad!
The ugly is still ugly though. poo.
Yeah, I read that last night. HUZZAH! Still doesn't really counteract the ugly though...:(
