I was waiting for this wrap by Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund to give us the good news to offset the ballot initiatives. President and CEO Chuck Wolfe:

    "This was a watershed election.  Our government became more representative and our democracy became stronger.  As  we near the 30th anniversary of the death of Harvey Milk, it's enormously gratifying to see his dream realized in so many brave men and women heeding the call to run for office, and doing so openly, honestly and unafraid."

Look at this accomplishment -- out of the record-breaking 111 endorsements of out candidates in 2008, more than 70 percent won as of this AM. See the winners below the fold.
