Apparantly the Colorado citizens have spoken. There were 2 different referendums regarding gay relationships. One was to make marriage only definable as between a man and a woman. That one looks to pass with a near 57% majority. The other was to allow domestic partnerships between same sex, more or less giving them the same rights as married couples. That one looks to fail with a 55% against. I guess the gay folk aren't welcome here.
The other issue up for vote would have made possessing up to an ounce of pot legal. That one looks to fail miserably, with nearly 65% against it.
I have to say I'm a bit suprised. And a bit disappointed, at least in regards to the gay marriage/partnerships issues. I thought Colorado was a bit more progressive than that.
As for Congress, my district was projected to be a close one and they weren't kidding. They even had Bush come out the other day in support of the Republican candidate. Right not there is a difference of 21 votes with the Democrat in the lead. Overall, only 2 of 7 elections are going to Republicans. Also, the Democrat candidate looks to win the Governor's race.
