Election Day
November 5th, 2008 . by FudouriSome interesting stats i’m looking at on the CNN website.br /br /As of this post.br /br /While Obama has won by a landslide of electoral votes, the popular vote is only seperated by 3% (51-48).br /br /Arizona, California and Florida had ban on gay marriage amendments up for vote and all seem to have passed.nbsp; br /Arkansas has banned adoption by unmarried couples (which coincidentally occurs for gays especially).br /On the very same night where an old discrimination has taken another big step forward, a new discrimination has taken a step back.br /One interesting note about this is that Obama has said he does not believe in gay marriage himself.br /br /Michigan looks to be passing stem cell research.nbsp; Makes sense in that biomed is building in Ann Arbor.nbsp; I am also very happy to see this.nbsp; Maybe we can get Michigan to be a new technology hub built around biomed.br /br /Nebraska ended Affirmative Action while Colorado did not.nbsp; Looks like Affirmative Action continues to be an issue people are split on.br /br /As of now, Democrats are 56-40 in the Senate.nbsp; There are 4 seats left, so there is sitll a possibility Democrats get theri 60 majority.nbsp; Here’s hoping it doesn’t occur.br /br /br /
