Tuesday night was not a good night for Republicans, with Barack Obama winning 52% of the popular vote and winning the Electoral College in a landslide. This was not a surprise to me, after the Republicans nominated a moderate who has frequently clashed with the Republican base. And while some might want to argue that Sarah Palin hurt John McCain with moderate voters, the elections results in California serve as evidence to the contrary.

Obama obliterated McCain in California, 6,219,123 to 3,777,314. But Californians voted to ban homosexual marriage, 5,376,424 to 4,870,010, according to CNN’s election website. That means a significant number of Obama supporters also voted to prevent government from recognizing homosexual marriage. Keep in mind that Barack Obama was opposed to the California ballot initiative. A ban on homosexual marriage also passed in Florida, 4,717,753 to 2,883,847. While a moderate Republican lost convincingly nationwide, socially conservative ballot initiatives did well.

The results in California are encouraging to those of us who have been working against efforts to radically redefine marriage to something other than the union of one man and one woman. Even in a very liberal state known for sending Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer to represent them in Washington, voters were not willing to see government recognize homosexual marriage. It is also significant that the vote invalidated any “marriages” that took place after the California Supreme Court ruled that a previous state law approved by the voters was unconstitutional. With the ban on homosexual marriage now part of California’s constitution, that is no longer an option.

It seems that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Why WRTV, a respected Indianapolis television station, would want to dignify a blog (and a “commentator”) that utilizes phrases like “MILF” and “GILF” is beyond me; maybe they expected it when they hired her. It wasn’t like she didn’t have a record of going low (placing the social security numbers and bank account routing numbers of political opponents up on the internet, as just one example).

They probably didn’t expect the whole vulgar slang acronym thing to come along with it.

The internet is ripe with rumors of all kinds, about all sorts of people. Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Barack Obama, and now Sarah Palin have all been the target of a variety of vicious internet rumors that have yet to be substantiated by facts.

First came the smears about Trig Palin not being Sarah Palin’s son, but instead the son of Palin’s daughter Bristol. The origin of these rumors appears to be a photo in which Bristol Palin looked somehow pregant (because of a quirk of her posture) and her mother (with her family standing in front of her) didn’t.

I still can’t see it, though.

This photo, in turn, sort of dispelled all of that (though some on lefty blogs opined that Governor Palin must have been wearing a fat suit, and still others speculated that the whole thing was a plot by Karl Rove to make them look stupid).

Here is a picture of the State Democrat Party booth taken at the State Fair last night during “prime time” .

Hey, where is everybody? No people, no literature, no flagging people down who may not be registered? Doesn’t look like folks are beating down the door to get on the JLT, Linda Pence or Dick Wood bus. Or any Democrat for that matter.

(Thanks to a Hoosier Access reader for sending us that doozy of a picture.)
