San Francisco -- San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris squeezed past her GOP opponent overnight to take a narrow lead in the race for state attorney general.

With 99.2 percent of precincts reporting, Harris is barely ahead of Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley by just one-third of a percentage point, according to the secretary of state. She is leading by 22,299 votes, though things could still change: Complete results from Riverside County, a GOP stronghold have not yet come in, and all of the absentee and provisional ballots have yet to be tallied.

Cooley claimed victory after taking a healthy lead in early returns Tuesday night. But as results from large counties - including Los Angeles - trickled in, Harris gained on the Southern California prosecutor.

Opposing the death penalty is Kamala Harris' most right-wing stance.

She'd be a perfect Attorney General for Obama if he ever decides this democracy thing is overrated.

Harris is an AG worthy of a Chavez Administration. If you live in CA, get the f**k out NOW! Harris will go after every white and Christian business owner on behalf of minorities and LGBT freaks and SUE SUE SUE you out of business. Jerry Brown will sign the Calif. DREAM Act within 60 days, so say goodbye to the state college system, and prepare for a welfare cost EXPLOSION. California is finished.

“AG worthy of a Chavez Administration”

A Steve Cooley win is the criteria for some business interests to remain in California.

If Steve Cooley loses this one we’re really sunk. Riverside county should go to him I would think.

Doesn’t make sense does it. I’m sure Pro 19 lost because of the hit to businesses and their drug free work rules but they turn around and give this bitch to the key to the front door. Look for lots of ADA activity no matter how frivolous...

Nevada has no income tax for individuals & corporations.

Bring your companies here.

Leave your ‘I Want Sidewalks Mentality’ there, please.

We like our dirt roads.
