Awe, Anger and Wonder

Awe over Senator Obama’s overwhelming victory. He ran the map. 538.com’s projections were nearly spot on. I lost the pool at work with my much more conservative guess that spotted McCain Florida and Ohio, but I don’t care.

Anger over my fellow Californians’ willingness to enshrine bigotry in the constitution. (However, that is not a done deal, even if Proposition Eight passes.)

And wondering if the Republicans will reform their coalition, shedding the anti-immigrant, evangelical, and Cold War wings.
