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.
I'm looking for Snow's entire quote on this. I think it deserves a thread all on it's own.

Look out, Bustamante will don a bikini a la fellow weight-loss spokesperson Kirsty Alley on the next Oprah! You watch. ;-)
I'm in the Bay Area, but not in San Francisco. Thank God!
:-)
I am relieved! LOL.
I can just see him selling weight loss videos on cable TV at 3AM. LOL.
Tony is a really nice guy...I really want him to win!

Santa Cruz county is starting to report and it's causing things to move in the wrong direction
Must you be a tactless prick!

Disenchanted voters handed Democrats the reins over the House of Representatives in mid-term elections Tuesday, which also counted as a victory for environmentalists eager to bounce Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, as chairman of a powerful committee.
It was still too early to say whether Pombo would lose his District 11 seat to Democratic challenger Jerry McNerney of Pleasanton but the incumbent will no longer sit as chairman of the House Resources Committee.
The majority party controls nearly every House operation, including chairmanships. If re-elected, Pombo will mostly likely end up as the minority party's ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee.
Either way, Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund President Rodger Schlickeisen calls Tuesday a win for the environment.
The national group teamed with the Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters and Humane Society and has spent more than $1.5 million on anti-Pombo electioneering in the past year.
"Our number one goal was to remove Pombo as the chairman," said Schlickeisen, who led the group's first-ever foray into congressional campaigns. "We worked on 26 races but Pombo was our biggest target."
Pombo had successfully marshaled several bills through the House of Representatives that infuriated environmentalists, including a rewrite of the 1974 Endangered Species Act. The bill was already foundering the Senate, but after Tuesday's results, it has no chance of survival.
Meanwhile, East Bay incumbents Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, and Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Alamo, were headed for easy victories to hold onto their House seats.
Miller was poised to extend a 31-year career in Congress. Early returns showed more than 80 percent of voters favored Miller over Libertarian challenger Camden McConnell in Disrict 7, which covers northern and west Contra Costa County, much of Solano County and a slice of Napa County.
Tauscher, 54, was headed for her sixth term in Congress with a nearly 2-1 lead over first-time Republican candidate Darcy Linn for the 10th District seat. The district stretches from Livermore across central and east Contra Costa and north through parts of Sacramento and Solano counties.

As the GOP gets slaughtered in DC, maybe some Freepers who keep calling him a RINO will start listening to him now.

My county voted for Mountjoy over Feinstein overwhelmingly. He beat her like a drum with a 10 percentage point lead!!!
Oh! Don't forget to compare the actual votes cast in favor of McClintock as opposed to those cast for the Governor, just for comparison fun!!!
It looks like a bunch of lefty votes just came in. McC slipped below 50% and Tony fell behind.
Dang... I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight! lol
Looks like we lost the Senate tonight too.
