TODAY, Californians are heading to the polls to vote on several major propositions that shall dramatically affect both the political and economic future of our state.
We are following the activity and will report the results.

all the 'talent' have insulted and pi$$ed off the 'little' people and none of us are going to the movies... they need to zip it and keep it zipped -- plus some decent scripts would help.
Ain't that the truth
Question for Cali residents.
1) Is this a result of giving too many Liberal groups a reason to turn out, effectively ending chances of other measures that might have passed if only joined by only or two propositions?
2) Is this a result of low conservative turnout?
3) Both
4) Something else?
I agree.
75 Trendline Continues: Another 3 minutes passed and it falls again to 49.6%.
God help this State.
As the Latino population grows, things will turn around in California on the abortion issue. Try this referendum again in a few years!
Bedtime for me.
LA County won't do the trick for 73, I guess.
The Westside prevailed.
Just listening to the interview, USELESS is the right word for Mike Murphy, chief political strategist for Arnold. If this is *our* Karl Rove we're in deep trouble. ;)
But lots of Republicans won't vote for fiscal conservatives. I agree, we need to start somewhere.
"Arnie bled $300 million out of the unions."
Yeah, but they can always get it back. They'll just raise their dues again.
There is no way to put lipstick on this pig. Because there ain't gonna be a "next time." There will be no money for conservative reform initiatives again in California. We probably won't even get the signatures. Arnold may or may not be re-elected. If he is, he won't be able to do a damned thing except make the state fall apart a little more slowly. I'm no longer sure it matters.
L.A. County is slowly coming in. Now up to 21%. I think 75 will be doomed by L.A. County. 73 will be severely damaged, and probably won't be able to survive the onslaught from the rest of Alameda/Contra Costa/Santa Clara:

Then we are hosed. I bet the absentee voters that wait until the last day to mail it in are 50-50 at best, since it takes a procrastinator to sit on the ballot until the last day. I was hoping that the ones that mailed it in days ago have not yet been counted since those are probably much more favorable to us.
Isn't that odd? It's hard to believe mothers don't care if their daughters, no matter what age, are being operated on without them knowing it. It seems so wrong, doesn't it? What kind of mothers are they?
Probably, and too many abortion is a lifestyle, cultural statement, damn the details, issue voters left to be counted in the suburban SF Bay area. It's over. The evening is a bust.
75 rising!!!! 49.9 to 50.1!!!!!
Okay, you're right.
There's no greater silver lining than that. They've spent 3 years worth of future dues, the CTA has even mortaged their headquarter's building in Sacremento.
I think I'd ignore him...he seems to be working on his @sshole merit badge.
That was Orange. It will go down again when the LA numbers come in in two minutes or so.
bump for 73 also. from 58k down to only 37k down
