"Leading in L>A>"-- if that's the absentee vote from LA the figures may not reflect what is yet to come. SF wasn't counted yet either last I saw. Hope the BAD counties don't surge in and change the leads before all is done.

Given the power the Left has here - you can imagine the crowing if they had buried the Governator. And what they have to show for it after tonight is an empty bank account. That leaves them weakened heading into the mid-term elections in '06. I wouldn't write Arnold's political obitury just yet as so much of the state's establishment and press was wont to do.

You are correct.The large metropolitan counties have mostly just reflected early counting of absentee ballots.These numbers are way too early to get exited about.
