IMO those who coerce children into abortions should be required to register as sexual predators.

[Simmy2.5]

So Prop. 73 just switched.

Still waiting for the other counties. Hope for some victories.

I hear ya- I put my flag out every day...the only other person in the neighborhood who does that is a retired Marine Corps Colonel....

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF!

[B Knotts]

I got a real bad feeling after seeing those SLO numbers. 17% of SB reporting, and that will likely go more liberal too.

I think the propositions might all fail.

[HitmanLV]

Good job Pro Lifers - while you are fighting the 'abortion should be illegal' battle, a no brainer like 73 fails in the largest state of the union.

Ugh.

Looks like the jewels of the night are OH ballots and TX same sex marriage ban.

[Yaelle]

I am ready to cry at this point.

What can anyone do to get this state on the right track? Arnold did the best anyone could do.

[GVnana]

I'll only speak from experience. Education bonds were always a sacred cow. Even if you were retired, you voted to pass them because "kids gotta get educated." People are ignorant of how bad the schools really are.

A lot like the state budget mess: their 6 o'clock news doesn't tell them what's really going on. And the politicians don't either.

I started voting against education bond issues about 15 years ago, when I decided I would give the schools more money only when they improved their performance. I'll be voting NO for a long time to come.

[jwalsh07]

Gracias amigo, buena noche y vaya con Dios. :-}

[Howlin]

Arnold getting ready to speak on Fox.

[Prime Choice]

Good job Pro Lifers - while you are fighting the 'abortion should be illegal' battle, a no brainer like 73 fails in the largest state of the union.

Kinda premature with less than 1/3rd of all precincts reporting in, don't you think?

[DAC22]

75 now only 51.3 yes. begining of the end for Arnold. The beginig of the end for California started many years ago.

[counterpunch]

No, that's voter turnout...
Reporting precincts is different.

County Status

 

[LdSentinal]

Just about all of SF is in (just 9 precincts outstanding)

[Uncle Kermie]

I don't believe for a second that San Bernardino will vote 42-58% against Prop 73 (which are the current numbers)

[staytrue]

the left bought this election via the unions

They spent 130 million. How much will they have left for the 2006 elections ?

[Anti-Bubba182]

What is discouraging is that 0% of LA County is reporting. I can't think LA will be positive.

[NormsRevenge]

It's going to be a war of attrition, the union shot off some mighty big guns and spent big, it is a lot closer than even they expected it would be.

June '06 looms, and then the General in November.. the unions are going to be hard pressed to retain control as things deteriorate.
