Proposition 8. The curtain has risen but the conductor's baton hasn't moved yet.
A few people have posted that Proposition 8 has passed (which is bad, bad, bad).

No.

That's not what's in the news. The news says it has a "comfortable margin." Mmm... sort of. It would be comfortable if the conservative/liberal votes were evenly distributed across the state.

It's only ahead by 300,000 votes, 53% for banning gay marriage, 47% against the ban.

However, the conservative inland counties have reported 100% of their votes. They're done. It's those votes that have it passing at this point. Meanwhile, less than half of LA's massive far-more-liberal precincts have been counted. The Bay area counties have only reported roughly a third of their precincts.

The fat lady hasn't sung on this one, folks.
