Is it madness?

I finished the sleepy bunny sculpts paint tonight! I'm super happy that this is going so quickly! First I touched up the colour paint I did last night, then I did a dry white wash over that. Then I stained over that with layers of very dark brown, then painted white detailing. I'm really happy with how he turned out! :D

Tomorrow I'll start the harp seal paint! :3

In other news, I am so so so excited that Obama won! I'd been avoiding the tv all day because after voting and encouraging others to vote, there was really nothing I could do except stress, and that seemed silly. We'd flipped over to the news, and I saw that Obama had won already! I was so surprised and it was a wonderful surprise. :D

Scottie found this, and I thought it was pretty neat. My top candidate turns out to be someone I hadn't even heard was in the running. Scottie's top guy was the same one for me. It also tells you how closely matched you are to other candidates. It also gives you links to information about issues so that you can make informed choices. I think this sort of thing should be in the voting booth, something you could do so that people don't just blindly say 'Oh hay I'm a Democrat/Republican, and I saw this guy on tv and he seems good enough, I'll vote for him'. Not that everyone does, but I do know people who do. And the people who have less campaign backing so they aren't seen as much? Doesn't mean they aren't good candidates.

My top match is Former Alaskan governer Mike Gravel (D) at 96.23%. He's followed by Dennis Kucinich (D) 94.34%, Hillary Clinton at 60.38% (holy shit, look at the drop!!), and John Edwards (D) at 56.60%. I'd put down all of my data, but I can't seem to copy & paste it. I'll skip the middle of the pack, though I'll mention Obama is at 52.83% and Giuliani is at 32.08%. Giuliani is the second Republican on my list, following Ron Paul at 38.58%. All of my top tier candidates were Democrats. (I think the one downfall of this calculator is that there aren't any parties except D and R). My bottom of the barrel were Duncan Hunter, Mitt Romney, and Tom Tancredo all tied at 13.21%. My percentages were much more polarized than Scotties.

Soooo... the person that matches Scottie and I isn't going to be elected. Kinda sad. :P It was kinda funny, because Scottie and I had really closely matched candidate scores, but Obama and Hillary were switched for us.
