So all the California ballot measures have solidly gone down. I'm somewhat disappointed in this--I would like 79 and 80 to have gone through--but as I've said elsewhere, all down is far better than all up, especially considering the extent to which this underlines that the Gubernator is not only a posturing ass, but an ineffectual posturing ass. (Which phrase I wrote before considering his prior career...this is why I pay my brain the big bucks. :) )

And as a bonus, let's hear it for Diebold voting machines: Schwarzenegger was temporarily barred from voting due to a voting machine glitch. Beautiful publicity, really.
