In the gerrymander-gone-awry California 11th congressional district, sprawling across four counties from Gilroy to Lodi, incumbent Democrat Jerry McNerney is ahead 121 votes to GOP challenger David Harmer:
McNerney 82,124 votes, 47.5%
Harmer 82,003 votes 47.4%
A third party spoiler, Tracy's David Christensen of the conservative American Independent Party, has 8,809 or 5.1%
That's with all precincts reporting as of 5:41 a.m. It would appear that Harmer would have won had Christensen not been in the race.

This is really too damn bad. I’m very impressed with Harmer, he was one county away from me being able to vote for him. McNerney is the very caricature of a true zero, a nothing.
Why doesn’t “caricature” have an “h” as the second letter?
Just another mystery.
my guess is that with an ‘h’ it would be chari-cature
chari = character, and cature, hem, probably means something in French.
I sent an email to Richard Lederer, the word guy, and asked him. Letcha know!
Democrat Jerry McNerney thanks you for the support.
Harmer still has a shot at this.
Harmer got my vote. As for the 3rd party tool who got 5%, normally you get Green party types who pull more votes from the Ds but that didn’t happen in this case, which makes it painful to see this. Anyone who voted 3rd party in this district is a flipping moron.
My ass thanks you for your kisses.
Whiny Republicans who support losers seem to be the norm around here.
It is one thing to lose a tough contest; it is another to blame the voters for being too dumb to know better.
Need watchers at the Registrar of Voters offices in Santa Clara, San Joaquin, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties to make sure no shenanigans take place (see CA bulletin board)
Need watchers bump!
