Ping for later...
Marked up my voting pamphlet (and my hubby's) and am ready to go after work - I usually go first thing in the morning, but had to drop my car off for service.
While I was riding in the dealer's shuttle to work, all the guys in the van were complaining about having no one good to vote for, "and this 'group' in office is the worst ever" - sounded like they weren't going to go and vote today. Since they sounded like Dims, I just smiled and didn't say a word. Let them stay home, nothing is going to keep me away from the polls today - even if I have to hold my nose and vote for a couple of these candidates - the alternative is too scary to contemplate.
Just voted for McClintock and Arnold.
Have a quick question wasn't there supposed to be something on the ballot regarding illegal immigration? I thought I heard something on cable yesterday.
Not statewide.
Ping for later
California Border Police. Immigration. Initiative Statute.

Potential net savings to state and local governments over time in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually due to reduced expenditures for certain public services.

Lowest turnout expected for statewide vote
By John Wildermuth, Chris Heredia and Patrick Hoge, San Francisco Chronicle
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/06/MNG5MJ94QG1.DTL
A record low 34 percent of California's 15.6 million eligible voters are expected to cast ballots in today's statewide election, which includes the Democratic primary battle for governor and a host of other closely followed state and local contests. That would be the lowest turnout since the Field Poll began making pre-election turnout estimates in 1946.

By the way, I chickened out at the last minute and just voted Reed for San Jose Mayor instead of Mulcahy. I heard Reed said said he voted against the 1/2 cent sales tax increase.

Did my part. Voted for McClintock, and against the two initiatives (voting No on the Meathead initiative has got to be the most satisfying part of my day).
I figure with the voter turnout low, my vote is that much more powerful! Of course, let's hope the union thugs don't get their boys and girls to the precincts in larger proportions and pass the daycare for illegals measure.
"This is the heaviest R district in Eureka which isn't saying much :("
Quit your bitching! At least you live in a district with other R's.
Thanks for posting this.
I was thinking about pulling weeds or sweeping my driveway instead of voting.
I will crawl to vote against the Meathead's Prop.
If the Meathead proposition is voted down in this primary, is it ended? It can't reappear easily on the fall ballot, can it?
Yes, the poll is as one-sided in the GOP direction as the Field Poll is in the Donk direction.
Pure rubbish.
I went and looked at the internals of the poll at the website so I could see the GOP and Donk numbers on the Propositions... but they didn't include them... If they were there I could have weighted the percentages and got a clearer picture of what the actual poll results should have been if they were weighted correctly. Oh well... I guess they didn't publish that set of data because they knew some people could do this.
The only way it could be on the ballot in November is if they got sufficient signatures on a petition (around 700,000 or so). There's no way for that to happen between now and the deadline. But it will be back in some form later.
I think Phil by 3, Pro 82 goes down by 5, and Prop 81 passes barley......
