In regards to the map in your Post 34 from vote2003.ss.ca.gov :

It's interesting how ca.gov chose red and green instead of the tradiotional red and blue as the colors of the two top candidates.

On election day, with white representing the counties not yet counted, the electoral map of California looked like a Mexican flag.

This is still San Francisco, and we're like our own little island from the rest of California," said the 30-year-old organizer at an environmental justice organization in the city's Mission district. "
Oh, how the rest of California and the country, for that matter, wished you all were cut off in your own little socialistic-commie freak of an island.

And while you're at it, take Berkley with you.

Moderator/Poster: Please change the title of this thread to :Northern COASTAL Calif., ....ETC

If you check the results, you will find that northern Calif counties overwhelmingly voted for Arnold, EXCEPT for the San Fran/Bay area cabal. Some of the counties voted as high as 73% for Arnold and for dumping Davis. Clarify your post, please.

Author Anne Lamott
Anyone know what kind of books she "authors"?
Touchy-feely stuff? Mysteries? What? Never heard of her.

Not only is a city the biggest environmental disaster in existence, but these people have no first hand experience about the real environment, no clue about conservation, and think that wildlife is the animals on a farm.

What do you mean:

- "biggest environmental disaster"?

- "no first hand experience about the real environment"?

- "no clue about conservation"?

Dims truly are SICK in the head!!!

Ugh, the despicable and ludicrously overrated Anne Lamott.

I wonder how her kid is doing these days? The one she intentionally deprived of a father? The one she wrote so smarmily about? He must be into rebellious teenagerhood by now -- hard to imagine he'd put up with her.

Or wait...maybe he turned into a Johnny Taliban.

But how does vote fraud fit into this?

Marin County author Anne Lamott, whose novels often depict loss, says she cried herself to sleep after Tuesday night's election. But she woke on Wednesday and renewed her liberal values.

It's a good day when ultra-liberals are crying themselves to sleep ;-)

Actually Los Angeles County voted "NO" on the recall but the margin was narrow. Arnold still carried his native county while being walloped in the Bay Area.
