Ya, one hears that, but it is all jive. There is still a big conservative bias, and particularly in this election. You just watch, as 75 gets tighter and tighter.

[scott says]

I voted Yes on 73-77, No 78-80

[ravinson]

Can you provide a link to those returns you're posting? I'd like to see the maps.

Voters in California back abortion rights. But they also like the idea of parental notification. Its going to pass in this Blue State and that's a setback for Planned Parenthood and the National Association Of Gals that spent millions to defeat this measure.

So far, La County with ~11 % counted is holding to form with 73 74 75 passing, the rest
No.

77 is not dead yet, any any means.

Arnold promoted props 74-77, but he endorsed 73.

78 was endorsed by Arnold and Republicans mostly to get an alternative on the ballot to the horrible 79. Those who favored 78, rather 79 are perfectly happy to see both of them lose.

76 People here obviously don't want to live within their means........ LOL They want to spend, spend, spend, and not worry that there's nothing coming in. They're idiots What can I say? Fantasy world. I guess thats why they call it LA LA LAND. ..... 77...The redistricting one had hysterical commercials with Judge Wopner from the peoples court looking all mean and nasty and saying do you really want judges like me making all your decisions for you?! It never fooled me, just made me laugh. But I guess it fooled some ignorant people out here. Hope that explains it. At least it looks like Arnold got 2 out of four, and there's still time . it ain't over till the fat lady sings. !

The abortion lobby may be in for some hard times in California as the Latino population continues to grow. I would expect them to be pro-life even if they are Democrat in their leanings.

[BurbankKarl]

I think 75 is in the bag...leading in LA County too

[TortReformer]

So far 73, 74, 75, 78, 79 are going our way, correct? Doesn't that mean that the night looks good...everyone is talking about how it's a 50-50 night in California. Aren't we winning?
