Not only is it interesting, but it contains some good news for Californians:

11 PM EST. Polls close in California, Oregon and Washington.

None of these states are in play in the presidential contest this year. The status of the race, however, could have a potential impact on California's Proposition 8, which seeks to strike down same-sex marriage. If Obama appears as though he's headed toward a landslide victory, crestfallen conservatives might not bother heading for the polls to vote for Prop 8.

I think the author is mistaken about Prop 8 being a separate vote (it's not, it's on the election ballot), but still...there's a little bit of hope in that last line.

And it's not like the article itself is bad.
