It's the day after the election and it's a bit like waking up in an alternative universe. Nationally the GOP trounced Democrats, but California emerged liberal and green. Barbara Boxer will retain her Senate seat, voters shot down Prop 23 and best of all, Jerry Brown walloped Meg Whitman. I couldn't fathom a billionaire businesswoman who didn't register to vote until 2002 and who voiced contempt for the legislature really working on a bipartisan level for the greater good.

Importantly, we don't have to hear those pre-recorded "get out the vote" messages on our answering machines anymore.

It's a good day, Calif!
