Lt. Governor (Democratic): In the contested Democratic primary for Lt. Governor, State Senator Jackie Speier has pulled ahead of State Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi and State Senator Liz Figueroa. The current poll finds Speier the choice of 30% of likely Democratic primary voters, with Garamendi at 25% and Figueroa far behind at 8%. More than one in three voters (37%) are undecided. The current findings are a reversal of voter preferences from April when Garamendi held the lead over Speier.

Howdy 3C.
Just once I'd like to see a Dem leaning poll present the option "Not a single one of these bozos" - would likely hit the 70% mark IMO.
Living in California, you get to see the Statists, Communists, and Socialists duke it out. It is a lot of fun until you realize the winner is going to have some power running the place and raising taxes to fund the SEIU's transgendered illegal alien re-education camps.
Orwell would be proud of the clarity of his vision, yet profoundly saddened at the diregarding of his clarion call.
That would be too damn funny for words if it wasn't too damn real...
I voted for Maldonado but have wavered on that vote in the last few days. Curious for his view, Roger Hedgecock suggested Strickland is the better choice but didn't go into details.
I went with Parrish because he's a known entity to me.
And though I haven't ever liked him, I held my nose, closed my eyes and voted for Bilbray rather than skip the run-off with Busby. If nothing else his record shows he's been legitimately TOUGH on immigration.
I voted HELL NO on Meathead Prop 82. And NO on the other state prop. as well.
Hedgecock is probably referring to the fact that maldenado has an eye for the ladies..
I saw him at a party once, right after a speech he gave about family values. At the party he was getting shit faced drunk and flirting heavily with college aged girls. I wouldn't be surprised if he took one home.
