A few more smiles and frowns

Michigan Supreme Court justice Clifford Taylor, who believes in conservatism more than he trusts laws, has been replaced by Diane Hathaway in a stunning upset, stunning because it happens so rarely in Michigan, she won by a decisive margin -- 49% to 40% (a Libertarian got 11%), and Taylor had a significant war chest.

Arkansas passed a ban on adoption by gays by 57%.

The California gay marriage ban has now been called as passing with 52%. This is the most expensive statewide proposal, reaching $74 million. Jerry Brown, the state attorney general, insists the 18,000 gay marriages performed since June remain valid, but someone is going to challenge them.
