Proposition 55 is going down. Its passing in the Bay Area! only by a slim margin. That's not going to help downstate and Orange County has yet to report in.

[GOPrincess]

That's too bad. Lungren's a nice guy from a nice family (I was somewhat acquainted with his parents through my job many years back), but like a lot of CA Republicans is just too milktoast to take on the Dems. Sounds like he may be going down in flames in the primary which is kind of interesting.

[Torie]

Jones is going to win all 58 counties. Write that down.

[Toidylop]

It's a good sign. Even in LA County, Prop 55 is losing!!!

[calcowgirl]

He was Jim Jones attorney for 9 years
but got out before the Jonestown massacre.

Looks like Peter Camejo's experience in the Recall has empowered him enough to run for President.

David Cobb 327 8.3 Kent Mesplay 83 2.1 Lorna Salzman 455 11.6 Peter Miguel Camejo 3,059 78.0

[GOPrincess]

Are you calling Lungren a carpetbagger, or someone else? To my understanding, Lungren's lived in the Sacramento area for many, many years now. His parents (his dad was a prominent doctor in So. CA) moved up there to live near him.

[Torie]

55 is going to pass. Write that one down too.

[GoldenStateConservative]

I am in the "I know I'm losing, so I'm just gonna keep telling myself happy things" mood right now. Forgive me. I'll hold out hope for Kaloogian.

[going hot]

a million times zero is still zero

[Torie]

Okie dokie.

[dogbyte12]

I believe Camejo already did run for President in 72 or 76 as the Socialist Candidate. Some freeper correct me if I am wrong.

[goldstategop]

I'll take your word for it - but it should really be doing a lot better up north and its losing big in Los Angeles County.

[GOPrincess]

I think Dornan's gone over the edge. If he wanted to take someone on, he should have gone for a rematch with Sanchez, who did him out of the election on the basis of illegal alien votes. (I am somewhat familiar with the case due to my work and had no doubt it was a stolen election...)

Taking on Rohrabacher, a solid conservative, was nuts indeed...

[Simmy2.5]

Looks like Jones and Boxcar.

Glad 56 is losing. 55 looks like it will pass...barely.

[dogbyte12]

Dornan has been over the edge for a long time. That actually is one of his charms. But he at least used to use his fiery persona against democrats. This is it for him. No more B-1 to kick around any more.

[GoldenStateConservative]

Honestly, though, I do think he still has a chance. If only eight percent is reporting, then 92% still has to report. That gives Kaloogian pleny to room to catch up.

[PRND21]

Marin could of beaten Boxer. I'm afraid Mr. Jones will not.

[goldstategop]

Barely is not a word the teachers unions want to hear.
