Mayim Bialik and Elon Gold on Obama victory

[additional-authors]
November 7, 2012

This week I phoned actor-comedian Elon Gold and “The Big Bang Theory's” Mayim Bialik to get their take on the election coverage and results.  Here's what they had to say:

What a close race! It had me on the edge of my seat! I had no reservations about the President's or Governor Romney's ability to support Israel or protect Israel so that wasn't stressing me out. However, the chances of me missing filming The Big Bang Theory because I'd be taking to the streets protesting a possible eventual overturn of Roe v Wade are now nil. So I guess Big Bang Theory fans can be happy President Obama won if they like my character.

I am saying kaddish right now for all my doctor friends' careers!
