Looking at early election results, I see that our country is really, really headed down the wrong path. In various states, we've got people voting against legalizing marijuana (where's the fun in that) voting against stem cell research, voting to amend their consitutions to ban something that's already banned (gay marriage. What's coming up next, "kill all gays?"), voting against using slot machines to fund education (idiots in Ohio), and voting in several states to raise the minimum wage (which will lead to huge unemployment and reduced working hours).
The one bright spot at this time is that it seems Michigan is voting to restrict discrimination against white people, known to many as affirmative action.
These are just projections at this point though, and who knows what will happen in the morning.

How I Voted
US House VA District 11: Hurst (D).
I just couldn't vote for Tom Davis. I wrote him a lot of emails asking him how he stands on certain issues. I wasn't pleased with most results. He voted against online gambling, the NRA rates him a D, and he seems like a typical big government conservative, so I figure the Democrat can't be much worse.
US Senate VA: George Allen
In the battle between two assholes, I'll vote for the one that will keep taxes low.
Gay Marriage Ban: Voted Against
These bans are a waste of everyone's time. Keep this bullshit off my constitution, there's already a VA law against it. Also there are some very real concerns about this law impacting those who want to give medical power of attorneys to non spouses, or use wills to leave their property to non-relatives.
School bonds, money for parks, money for police, etc.
Voted against all of these bonds. My county wanted me to authorize at lest $75M in bonds. I don't want my taxes going up.
