Barack Obama is . . . Superbarack! By way of Superman II (the best movie ever made), the new hero rescues us from the evils of the past eight years and kicks some supervillain ass. Via Daily Kos.

Jon Stewart shoots down all of the stupid arguments used to support Prop 8.

And, as we throw our support behind all of the hard work being done in California, we need to remember that the anti-gay marriage and anti-civil rights Prop 102 in Arizona and Amendment 2 in Florida are being battled as well.

Democrats aim for powerful majority in Senate: "Of the 35 Senate seats on the line this year, 23 are held by Republicans. Five Republican senators are retiring . . . North Carolina, where Republican incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole is in danger of losing her seat to Democratic state Sen. Kay Hagan. Dole, a first-term incumbent, had been considered a safe seat for Republicans early in the election cycle, but she was targeted heavily by national Democratic Party ads and a CNN/Time poll last week showed Hagan leading by 9 percentage points."

More things to watch as the election results come in: "The media will, of course, get a sneak preview of the results and demographic voting patterns at 5 p.m., when a consortium of TV networks distributes several waves of nationwide exit polling. The first wave of that data is supposed to be kept secret from the general public because it is too unreliable and misleading."

The Huffington Post has a one-stop shop for all your election needs. Tons of maps and stats and info.

CBS News has 10 Questions (and Answers) for Election Day. Including:
1. What Should You Watch For Today?
2. Can Obama Win A Mandate?
3. Can McCain Pull Off A Shocker?
4. What Does Massive Turnout Mean?
5. Can New Hampshire Happen Again?

Believe it or not, this guy over at The Washington Times still likes Bush:"President Bush is far smarter, more articulate and less ideological than his plentiful detractors scream, and, ultimately, he will be judged by history - not by vengeful Democrats, hate-filled Hollywood, corrupt foreign governments, an imploding mainstream media or fleeting approval ratings."

And below, Patti LaBelle sings "He Will Rock You (Obama)"

Yup, today, on Election Day, on the near-holy day of rest when Obama himself is shooting hoops and watching movies, the women of The View have one last big smackdown. About racism, Rev. Wright, McCain leaving his disfigured wife, you name it. If Elisabeth thought she was a Conservative lighthouse in a Democratic storm before, after today . . . yeah. I give her three months before she pulls a Rosie.

Television:
The first five minutes of the first episode of the first season of "The West Wing." Because I can't be the only one thinking that President Bartlett was the first paving stone on the path to an Obama Presidency.

Politics:
This video supporting Obama is one of the few produced for him that captures and reflects the yearning that promises to be eased by an Obama Presidency.

Movies:
HBO's "Recount"
Not that we need a reminder of the importance of this election, but here's a quick glance in the rearview mirror.
