Hold it everyone!
We're no WORSE off tonight than we were a month or a year ago. Props 74-77 would have been great improvements, but not winning simply returns us to the status quo ante.
And remember this: We can always rely on the Dems to overplay their hands!
Things'll get better!
The kind that believe girls will die from coathanger abortions.
Nah, look at the numbers.
There are about 120,000 outstanding votes in Alemedea.
380,000 or so in LA County.
220,000 or so in Orange.
200,000 + in San Diego.
60,000ish in Riverside.
It's going to just be damned close.
I've been thru 4 superbowls and watched the Vikes torch 4 funeral ships afterwards, this is nowhere near as bad. lol
You're missing Santa Clara.
Contra Costa Co has only reported 29.6% & they are big #'s & liberal.
Hey! At least we're not in France. :-)
On what went wrong: Thinks they had one initiative too many. Knew it was always a long shot because they had unlimited money.

Po' Jacque.. when it rains , it burns. ;-)
73 - 51.3% voting No
75 - 53.7% voting No
We didn't lose anything in Ca., Va., or NJ. either. Everything just stayed the same. The democrats didn't gain anything, either. We're back to yesterday. It's time to work on 2006 I suppose. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
It's not so bad... Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo counties, the sources of most of the largest "no" margins are 100% in already (on Prop 73, 75%, 79% and 66% no). Meanwhile, Orange County is only 38% in; San Bernadino 31%; San Diego 56%. IOW, the "no" votes are in, we're just starting to count the "yes" votes. I confidently predict 73-75 all pass. All liberal props (78-80) fail.
If all propositions fail and the status quo is preserved, then the election did nothing and lends support to the argument that it was an entire waste.
The trend continues for 75. It has fallen to 49.7 without an upward tick on over 1.5 hours.
Does anyone know how the counting of the absentee ballots works for sure? Have the ballots that were voted days earlier already been counted? I am not yet completely convinced we have lost everything because with no specific knowledge I think it is possible a larger percentage of absentee ballots have not yet been counted? Anyone know anything about this?
A disappointing night for the national GOP, but not a disastrous one.
A very bad night for California -- assuming 75 loses. And even if 75 wins, it's still pretty bad.
The Bay Area of California is as close to France as you can get while still in this country.
You are right , even if Arnold get one as the media
thought he would be rolled over.
The leather face is on now. No matter what she stood
for, just her looks and voice sunk her.
And the union are the cancer on the state.
