Democrats have already picked up three new U.S. Senate seats by beating back Republican stalwarts Liddy Dole and John Sununu, and Obama has won Pennsylvania and Michigan and is looking good in the battleground states of Ohio and Florida (which would mean “game over” for the McCain).
With two hours of voting still to go in California, the winds of change are already starting to blow our way from the east. But it’s not enough to win — for the change we need, this election has to carry with it a strong mandate for fundamental reform. And that means maintaining San Francisco’s status as a progressive leader in the country, so keeping pushing and voting.
