[CounterCounterCulture]

Welcome to the live thread for the California Primary Election. Polls are open until 8pm tonight. If you are a registered voter, it is your duty to vote and defend your rights and civil liberties, protect your pocketbook, and vote the bums out where applicable.

Feel free to discuss issues key to your local area that others may be interested in. Post your polling place experiences if you like. And post numbers as they come in later tonight.

Well, you folks seem to have things well in hand. I'll try to check in later.

It looks that way. Bilbray by 4% or so, I would guess. That is an erosion in the partisan baseline by 3%, (10-6/2 = 3), but that is about the best one could expect.

Brian HAS to win.
I'm so sorry I wasn't there to vote and to campaign for him.

[ChicagoConservative27]

I agree. IMO i would think Montana and North Dakota would be Conservative.

[onyx]

11% --- even better!

[Torie]

No, just the opposite, but here one is projecting the dynamics of the campaign. That large a win by Tester will give him the mo.

I sent Busby's audiotape to everyone I could!

Roger Hedgecock is broadcasting on Radio (600AM KOGO) or via streaming at kogo.com.

It will give him a boost, but the Mason-Dixon poll prior to the primary showed Tester leading by 3% and Morrison by 8%.

[Gunder]

That's just it -- they are very conservative states. Very much in favor of gun rights, property rights, etc. And yet they seem to love to vote in Dems (albeit somewhat conservative ones) when it comes to the U.S. Senate.

Frustrating.

[onyx]

I got him -- thanks!
I couldn't link earlier.

Heard anything on the tube yet re: the DA's race? The county web site doesn't have anything up yet.

[onyx]

GOOD on you, Julie!

[calcowgirl]

Cool!

Thats just weird.

[Torie]

One little oddity is that Busby is getting in the first absentee vote dump almost exactly the same percentage she got in April in the first absentee vote dump then (it is within about a tenth of one percent). I suspect her stupidity revealed, when she made that you don't need papers remark, accounted for most of this margin.

[Torie]

Those numbers will go way down, but not that much down I would suspect. Both props go down.

IMO i would think Montana and North Dakota would be Conservative.

From what I understand, Montana is being overrun by rich liberals from California. Doing what they always do, fleeing the wreckage they created where they came from, and making sure they wreck the place they're going to by bringing their socialism along.

[onyx]

LOL -- thanks Torie.
I've been reading your posts. (As always).

[Torie]

OK. Mason Dixon is the gold standard. When was that poll?
