Abortion just fits are life style needs. Deal with it.

Especially since it's those federal judge types who just ruled that parents should have NO SAY in regard to ANYTHING or ANY WAY a school wants to teach their children about sex.

[HitmanLV]

Yep. Though I gotta tell you, the abortion notification and teacher tenure ballots are slipping. What's up with that?

[RockinRight]

What's the deal with the redistricting law? I thought it was similar to the one in Ohio that we conservatives overwhelmingly opposed (and it's losing 70/30).

Marin is a liberal bedroom community of San Francisco. Some Lefties really believe everything on the ballot is a GOP plot to poison the water. LOL

Or get their ears pierced.

All I know is that my friend tried to get out of joining the union, and finally they she had to relent because it got so complicated, and they didn't make it easy for her. It's ridiculous.

SF and LA votes, probably. But they ARE still ahead. 75 is still the biggest. It will cripple the unions in CA.

Proposition H Firearm Ban Requires a simple majority.

Choice Votes %

Yes 21,147 58.67%

No 14,889 41.33%

Bad news for SF. Good news for SF neighbors as SF residents will have voted themselves into being easier targets.

This election actually reminds me of elections in the early '80s. L.A. county is proving to be downright normal compared to S.F./Marin.

[B Knotts]

Doesn't matter. It's illegal, and will be thrown out.

[hsalaw]

Thanks. Your outline of the wins for conservatives today was better than the big slab of chocolate I thought I'd need to get through the CA returns tonight!

[CPT Clay]

dont forget about the dems spending millions. They're wallets will be much lighter in '06. NJ is now an open seat sorta.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

You betcha!!!!

[JWojack]

Looks like 74 will fail. It's be slipping from its early lead the whole time.

[Feiny]

SF has already driven out all gun stores so the ban will be no surprise. Of course, the large asian population loves their firearms, but not sure if they vote in large numbers.

[TheBigB]

At worst, a mildly disappointing night. Hardly a catastrophe. We need to take what leassons we can, gird up, and get ready to work eveen harder next year! :)

[AndyTheBear]

Marin County with 79.4% of the cotes counted has voted NO on EVERY Prop.

The chart for Marin county contradict itself. It has a big red N next to ones that show the Yes percentage higher then the No percentage for some of them.
