I just looked again at Tuesday’s presidential election results for California.CD 42 now shows McCain leading by 63 votes, so Romney would be back to winning only 3 districts (21, 49, 52).
They have tallied 2,368,916 Republican votes from Tuesday.HOWEVER, in perusing the SOS website, I found the tally (PDF) of votes yet to be counted. As of 1:10PM today, there are still 833,434 “Estimated Remaining” absentee and provisional ballots to be counted, including 96,689 from Orange County, 159,600 from San Diego, 53,000 from San Bernardino, etc.
The vote difference between Romney and McCain is LESS Than 3000 votes in more than 1/2 of the Congressional districts — 27 of 53 districts.
If many of these CDs turn to Romney by the time they are done counting, I think there will be some serious screaming.
I had the impression Romney never gave much thought to CA until the very last minute when there were indications he might pull delegates. Still, if they are mostly absentee, those votes were probably cast before his "surge."
His conclusion was simply that CONSERVATIVE Republicans were so abjectly uninspired by the remaining field of candidates that they simply did not vote in huge numbers!!!
I myself was uninspired and only wanted the best shot at blocking MuckCain with Romney!!! (now if the winner take all CONgressional District thing was mis-counted, I'm gonna be really pist!!!)
I find Savage's idea believeable and quite possibly credible. His point was that conservative Talk Radio hosts WERE listened to and agreed with far more than the MSM/DBM wanted to admit after all.
What about the rest of you reading this???
