KPCC Election 2008
The Party is On...
…In every sense of the word. The elder statesman at the Obama CA party have left the building and the Hyatt Century City has turned into a nightclub, complete with booming music, plenty of intoxicated revelers and even the scent of marijuana smoke.
Yes, Obama-heads celebrated the victory of Obama and commiserated over the lead Prop 8 has by celebrating the passage of Prop 215. Even the potheads are political here tonight. Hey, if Obama inhaled in his youth and admitted to it, can it be so bad?
As the smell of marijuana drifted over the press corps it was funny to watch each cameraman, anchor, producer and write raise their noses into the air, take a few sniffs, and then smile knowingly to each other.
A scene from earlier in the operation room of the Victory Party: the organizers were trying their best to keep Mayor Villaraigosa off stage—but, surprise, surprise, the slippery Mayor still made his way to the microphone.
That’s it from us; the KPCC staff is going to cut loose on the dance floor and breathe in deeply.

I'm appalled at what I just heard on KPCC. At 32% of precincts reporting, the KPCC reporter said that Prop 8, the ban on gay marriage was certain to pass at 53% for and 47% against, while Prop 4, the requirement for parental notification of abortion of minors was too close to call at 52% to 48%.
My gut reaction told me he was hoping Prop 4 might yet go down, even though it's ahead by almost the same margin as Prop 8.
What the heck kind of post is this for KPCC...?
This is "FM with IQ...?"
