Maldonado wins GOP nomination for attorney general
Abel Maldonado has won the Republican race for lieutenant governor, beating Sen. Sam Aanestad.
The incumbent by virtue of appointment by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maldonado jumped to an early lead and never relinquished it. He had 46 percent of the votes with 48 percent of precincts statewide reporting. Aanestad garnered 29 percent.
Four other GOP hopefuls registered 8 percent or less.
... Aanestad tried to paint Maldonado, recently appointed to the post, as a tax raiser. ...

??? TRIED to paint? Gotta love McClatchy
LOL.
The sac bee made the same mistake I did.
They just sent out a correction. Wins nomination for Lt. Gov, not Atty Gen.
