According to CNN it looks as though the US Senate Election Results have been tallied. It looks as though the balance of the power has shifted in favor of the democrats.
With 35 Senate seats available in this 2008 Election 17 have already been projected to be for the Democratic Party. 14 have been projected to have been for the Republican Party. In addition to these Senate Seats there are currently 4 Senate seats that have been left undecided.
The US Senate Election Results give us approximately 56 Democratic Senators versus only 40 Republican senators and 4 seats yet to be decided. This definitely shifts the balance of power over to the democratic party.
The proposition (California Proposition 8 ) to ban same sex marriage in California looks like it will be passed by a slim margin of Victory. The results are in for California Prop 8 and the results show 96.4% of the districts have been submitted.
The tally shows
08 – Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry
YES: 5,220,694 52.2%
NO: 4,792,873 47.8%
There are approximately less than 4% of the vote remaining. It would take a landslide in favor of the No vote to not be passed into legislature.
Here is a video on California Prop 8

Many of the early voting exit polls 2008 for the presidential election seem to be favoring Sen. Obama by a large margin. Early exit polls tend to be skewered at the beginning so it is good to use them as a guide rather than as the rule.
Recently the Obama camp has created a calculator that can help assess the amount of taxes that would be paid under the economic tax policies that would be enforced by both Sen. Obama and Sen McCain if they were to be elected. It is a pretty interesting little tool that can help find out the amount of tax savings or additional fines you would have if either Sen. McCain or Sen. Obama’s economic policies are enacted.
I thought it held enough value if the calculator is in fact valid.
Here is the Obama Tax Calculator
Last night at the Alfred E. Smith Charity Dinner Sen Obama and Sen McCain put down their gloves and decided to take shots at each other in a different manner. The Obama McCain Roast was pretty funny considering the comics.

2nd mccain obama presidential debate
The last presidential debate was held last night between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. There have been many who have said that the presidential debate last night was less of a debate and more of a storyline. The reason behind this is that the topic that was mentioned most was the story of Joe the plumber.
pod cars
Remember those trips to Disneyland? Remember riding on the futuristic Monorail? It might be possible that the Monorail themed future was not that far off in terms of transportation. Ithaca, Santa Cruz and Sweden are considering using pod cars as opposed to the normal light rail system. These pod cars would be similar to the monorail style cars yet they would be of a more personal in nature. Allowing for those who would like to be alone to have that alone time.
