Will the right-wing tide break at the Sierra Nevada? One can only hope.
Follow the returns live at the Secretary of State’s site. Keep in mind that the bigger counties like Los Angeles tend to report later in the evening, so there may be some races and ballot props that we won’t be able to know the outcome of until late.
UPDATE: So all the major networks have called the races for Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer. But Whitman is refusing to concede, as Pete Wilson is telling her that there are still a lot of ballots to count. I’m hearing that as of 10:35, with 24% in, Brown is up 50-45. So Whitman might just be stalling so that if she does give a concession speech, it’s at 2AM when nobody is paying attention and as few Californians as possible will see her epic failure.
UPDATE 2: Whitman finally concedes, announces campaign for governor of Texas in 2014.
i wonder if the panels will discuss what seems the plain lesson from tonight’s results: this is by no means a liberal state. it’s just not a Republican one, in terms of what “Republican” has come to mean in the rest of the country. everything we didn’t like about Brown’s policy stances is right in line with the proposition results. make everything nice and do it for free – the California voter speaks…
Citizens United is scaring progressives. But the Whitman collapse after $140M is giving business Republicans some pause. There is only so much money they will be willing to throw down a Republican rat hole.
Fox in AD-70 is getting clobbered 35-61. I knew this one would be tough no matter what.
In AD-68, Mansoor is only leading 55-45.
Prop 23 goes down in flames and 25 passes!
Sure, we just need to drop $200 million to get over the top!
Well, in case she decides to move to Texas, I will gladly trade places with her!
California voters made it that much harder to govern by passing Proposition 26. I don’t see how budgets are going to get resolved, even with the passage of Prop 25. Constitutional Convention NOW!
Jerry McNerney survived! Huzzah.
Jenny Oropeza won. That means a special election.
vote.sos.ca.gov is down again at 7AM. They need an upgrade/mirrors.
All the precincts are in(100%), But according to the TV News, It could be as long as 28 days for the election results to be certified, Of course the loser has the right to call for a recount, But the loser has to pay for that.
