CNN said there is no exact trend for tonight, but I think this is looking to be a very positive night for progressives.

* OH: Unions win, Health Care loses -  it's a wash

But the health thing (like the MS abortion law for that matter) is in fact symbolic since it is obviously overridden by federal law, whereas the union law is substantive, and is the most important ballot question of the night in the country.

The Ohio labor rights question map, by the way, will be very interesting when all the results come in. It seems to diverge from the typical areas of D strength in almost the opposite way from Obama; it's just getting killed in the small southeastern Appalachian counties, in a number of cases by higher margins than in Cuyahoga, Lucas or Franklin.
