Sorry I flaked on Monday, but I had already gone to when you called. I was worried I was registered as Green, but it turns out I'm a Dem! I almost cried after I'd voted, it made me so happy to imagine having a woman black president. I'll for sure help i in the general election!

Although Obama may not need the help, I guess Mcain's been calling people gooks again.

I'm talking like he's already won, I sure hope I'm right!

I meant to say 'already gone to yoga'

man, at first I was so bummed Obama lost California. But I was looking at BBC and this figure shows a scenarios where it really shows Obama sort of closing the gap. So I am still very optimistic!

Yeah, there's no clear winner and probably won't be for a while. Aah, why do they do this to us??

yeah, it's really complicated. the only real loss here was the psychological impact of losing the bigger states. in terms of sheer votes and delegates, they more or less tied. he did extraordinarily well considering what he was up against: an insanely compressed time schedule, across 22 states, against probably the most established political entity in the democratic party. it's a testament to the kind of candidate that he is. so it was only a loss in the sense that he wasn't quite able to live up the extreme hype that had been generated. people with realistic expectations got realistic results. he still has a chance, especially since he does considerably better when he has more time to connect with people in a given state (or a few states).

on a personal level, i had just wished that our state of california would be in his winning column. but of course, san francisco was.
