(no subject)
I started crying (tears of joy!) when the race was called for Obama, which kind of surprised me. I know I cared a lot about this election, but the gutpunch (is there a good/happy equivalent of that?) I felt at the words "President-elect Obama" overwhelmed me.
Unfortunately, I'm almost in tears about the way Prop 8 seems to be going, as it's currently passing by 9 points, and it's just heartbreaking. (edit: No on) 4 seems to have pulled ahead slightly (I'm watching CNN, courtesy of tattermuffin, because I can't get the CA election site to load), which is a relief, but I'm so shocked and dismayed over 8. I keep hoping we'll pull ahead somehow, that the precincts left to report are bastions of equality, but it's a guttering candle.
I love rollercoasters, but not the emotional sort, thanks.
