Live Thread - California General Election - 7 November 2006

[CounterCounterCulture]

Welcome to the live thread for the California Primary Election. Polls are open until 8pm tonight. If you are a registered voter, it is your duty to vote and defend your rights and civil liberties, protect your pocketbook, and vote the bums out where applicable.

Feel free to discuss issues key to your local area that others may be interested in. Post your polling place experiences if you like. And post numbers as they come in later tonight.

The CA GOP dropped more than $1.5 million into this race: (I think there are about 100,000 voters in this district)

San Francisco Values?

Thus far San Diego went 58% YES (25.6% reporting) on Prop 85. Mayor Villareconquista drowned the airwaves with a saccharine line of BS which completely ignored the safeguards for those in abusive situations. He'll never get a vote out of me. He's got to be celebrating Angelides loss tonight.

It sure looks like Moonbeam has a lock on the Attorney General post. Rose Bird's revenge!

But he won't get sworn in IF the courts uphold the law.

Oy, I'm going to be up all night awaiting to see of Strickland wins. He's such a super-nice guy.

Holy Cow! I would never imagine that 47% of SF folk would vote AGAINST impeachment!

[calcowgirl]

Ya gotta celebrate when ya get the chance! YAY!!!

yeah...that'll happen :)

[SmithL]

I would like that, but I'm not holding my breath.

[newzjunkey]

GOP projected to LOSE the U.S. Senate too.

[FightforFreedomCA]

Go TOM!!!!

[calcowgirl]

You gotta me joking!!!!

San Francisco... UGH!

You're in that hell hole, right? (My condolences!)

[rivercat]

Probably only because the SF Comical recommended a No vote on it.

AP declares STEVE POIZNER Winner over Bustamante!

[calcowgirl]

Oy, I'm going to be up all night awaiting to see of Strickland wins. He's such a super-nice guy.

I've never met him, but he exudes "nice" in his pictures and on video.
I certainly like his watchdog platform, much more so than the "suck more taxes out of every citizen" Chiang.

[newzjunkey]

Cruz Bustamante (Dem)	    645,580    	33.1 %	
Steve Poizner   (Rep)	  1,103,205	56.5 %

[goldstategop]

Looks like the Democrats will keep only the Treasurer's office. If Brown's out the GOP will have a deep state bench no thanks to Arnold.

For $13 million dollars (or 8 times your opponent's budget), you too can be Insurance Commissioner, assuming he is a totally whacked out Mecha loser like Bustamante! LOL.
