California seems to have passed Proposition 8. I'm not surprised, exactly, but very disappointed that a relatively left wing state should pass such a bigotted motion.

I'm quite please Obama got in. I doubt he'll be as good as everyone's hoping, but it'll be hard for him to mess up as badly as Bush has done. And it's great that the US has shown how far it has come since the days of Strange Fruit.
