You mean to say that the myth of write ins being overwhelmingly conservative leaning is a myth after all?

Perhaps Cruz "For the Race Everything..." Bustamente turned off quite a few people. After watching him in the debate,I knew AS would win even if McClintock, Uberoth and Simple Simon staye on. The guy was embarrassing.

Here is the raw data on the recall. The large majority of this vote is still absentee in the count. Trust me.

Yes         1,777,447             55.5 
No          1,428,386             44.5
