I guess we should just carry around a jar of vaseline?
(Sorry. I'm getting tired and graphic. I probably should call it a night!)

If L.A had voted NO you'd be right. But its voting YES and its most populous county in the state.

[null and void]

I could use a bit longer day...

Schools in San Jose (Saratoga) region isn't better. All the good teachers are retiring. Leaving the behind all the liberal indoctrinators.

Though to my surprise, during my Highschool days, I had at least one conservative teacher. A few other teachers, actually taught instead of indoctrinating us (meaning, I had NO idea what their affiliation is). My American History teacher for example, busted the myth that FDR was this great President. Said if it wasn't for the war, he would've been voted out. Too bad they will be gone soon (one I know already left).

I wonder how bad it's going to get.....

[ArmstedFragg]

I'm certain the yes votes, even in Orange County, will still be up there...

The "yes" votes still to come in from Orange County will fall behind the "no" votes by somewhere around 80 thousand.

Most of that big bump up in the last SOS count came from L.A., which is now almost three fourths in. It'll add a little to the "yes" column, which'll be offset by San Diego's "no" surplus because they have a sizeable amount of it not yet counted.

Still "too close to call" in my book.

The day wasn't long enough for ya?!;-)

I guess we should just carry around a jar of vaseline?

And learn to walk bowlegged. Don't forget that part.

(Sorry. I'm getting tired and graphic. I probably should call it a night!)

It's okay. At least 56 tanked.

[Simmy2.5]

112 difference. This one is WAY too close to call.

[goldstategop]

We won one for The Gipper and For Jarvis!

[null and void]

I guess not. It's tomorrow, and we're still up...

[goldstategop]

Its Wednesday... I wonder what this will be like in November...

[Prime Choice]

I wonder how bad it's going to get.....

Remember all the old jokes about California falling into the ocean? I see a day in which most Americans will wish it were true...'cause the runaway debt this state bears is now compounded with the passage of Prop 57. It's only going to get worse from there...to the point that the federal government will have to step in and bail out the Golden State.

[sfRummygirl]

Yeah, 56 tanked. That's one good thing. Now if my "A" could just self-combust....
Ok, I gotta get some shut eye. Good night everyone!

[ArmstedFragg]

But its voting YES and its most populous county in the state

True. But, just BARELY voting YES. And it's over 3/4 counted.

[goldstategop]

Look at the bright side: its money the Democrats can't spend on useless programs since it all goes to repaying the debt. They don't know it yet but they're royally screwed. They think Arnold did them a favor. Yeah, right. Bwahahaha!!!

[Torie]

Oller must be upchucking his dinner at this point. What a turnaround. Amazing, that the absentees could be so different in a partisan primary from the same day votes.
