"Texas bans gay marriage. Still OK to marry cousins"
- headline at Fark.


Dems win big in NJ, Virginia, California, PA...
BuzzFlash: Bunnypants "suffers a trifecta of defeat"!

The outcome in conservative, Republican-leaning Virginia was a particularly bad blow for Bush, who stopped there on election eve for a get-out-the-vote rally with Kilgore. Bush's mounting political problems and Kilgore's poor showing could make Republicans hesitant to call on him for help next year.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, 'voters took a stand Tuesday against military recruitment on public school campuses, voted to keep firehouses open and approved the nation's toughest ban on handguns.'

Religious-right troglodytes were stomped into the slime of their own crapulence as Maine voted to keep gay rights laws on the books.

Dems had a 'banner night' in Long Island, where they took control of formerly Republican territory (and, ummm, reboobs? Mike Bloomberg is actually a Democrat.).

In St Paul, Dems overwhelmingly showed Bush-loving Dem mayor Randy Kelly the door:

No sitting St. Paul mayor had lost a campaign since 1972. Kelly had a personal election streak that spanned nearly as long, covering his quarter-century in the Legislature and single term as mayor.

"It may sound silly, but Kelly was for Bush and I'm not," said retiree Audrey Guith after casting her vote for [fellow Democrat and former Council member Chris] Coleman.

Heh.
