SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. -- As the president savors this month's election results and the promise of moving his agenda in the capital, the gubernatorial vote in California offers tantalizing clues for his 2004 re-election campaign. The outcome on the coast -- despite a Democratic sweep -- offers great opportunity for George W. Bush to turn the Golden State into a "red" one.

The question we've got for CA is, "waddaya gonna do about vote fraud?" Analysts who studied Gore's "victory" in CA "suspected" upwards of 300,000 illegal votes. But, truthfully, they have no real idea , either.
The number of straight voters in the "red counties," which includes legally registered democrats, may not be able to overcome the vast numbers of illegally registered democrat voters in the coastal counties, particularly when turn-out is low.
The problem I have with all this is no one knows the size of the problem. Is the Bush strategy counting on a 75% Republican majority in the "red counties?" This just ain't adding up. Simon did a lot better than I thought he would, but we have no idea, none, of how many of the illegal registrations were used against him. I have the feeling (unsubstantiated) that with this low turn-out we saw, fraud in the "blue counties" may have played a significant part in his defeat.
That is one problem with fraudulent votes nationwide: we know they are out there, we have no idea how many. This is serious. Insofar as I know, no one has analyzed the "Motor Votor" registrations, which as far as I am concerned, would be a damn good place to start looking for fraud, especially multiple registrations and registered illegal aliens.
To correlate, what I have been reading in other threads, this implies:
1. The Fresno GOP assembly seat up was going to court to resolve some ballot issue?
2. Denham won the Senate seat?
3. Did not McClintock concede to Westery? Does McClintock still hava a chance?
They usually show up immediately after someone comments on how swell it is that the GOP is now endeavoring to build constituencies based upon ethnicity, just like their democratic cousins.

I really am interested in knowing more about the former mayor of San Diego, Rodger Hedgecock. He has a talk show in SD and does a great job of filling in for Rush.
Well, a concession has no legal merit and, if by some miracle he pulled it off, the concession means nothing. However, from my understanding, Tom McClintock conceded because mathmatically, he wouldn't have won the remaining absontee ballots. According to dpwiener, he needed to win 62 percent of the rest of the ballots left to count, and thats is really unlikely (especially since, I believe the remaining ballots left to count include LA County which, even absontee ballots, might have a liberal lean unfortuently).
