1. This one is very important.

[KeepItReal]

2. I'm calling it myself: Rep. Barbara Lee is staying my Congresswoman!

She's winning 84% to 16% at the moment...

[Luminous Animal]

8. Congrats! She is a peach. I have long admired her and have

travelled from San Francisco to work on her behalf. You are so lucky to be represented by such a brave and principled woman!

[KeepItReal]

17. I've upgraded from Jane Harman!

Moved from SoCal to the Yay Area.

[Luminous Animal]

19. I found my way to the Yay Area (love that!) from So Cal myself 30 years ago...

never regretted it.

26. She is a true Democrat. She votes her conscience and doesn't fall for all that BS that they

have to compromise with the Right in order to 'get along'. SHE should be the Dem candidate for the WH in 2016. Maybe she's winning by such a large margin because she remained true to those values we are constantly told 'no, we have to 'compromise' in order to win. Maybe people WANT the values she consistently stands up for. Maybe the political operatives are WRONG when they tell us 'we can't win by being too Progressive'. SHE proves them wrong.

So happy to hear she is appreciated by the people she so wonderfully represents.

3. Jerry Brown (D): 56.2%, Neil Kashkari (R): 43.8%

[Wella]

5. I think Brown is safe.

The Props are important as is the Education Superintendent.

[Le Taz Hot]

12. Just thought I'd post a positive

among the sea of negatives but thanks for the political education 'cause I haven't been doing this since like 1968.

[Wella]

14. It's been a hard night for all of us

.

[Codeine]

4. At least my state won't embarrass me this time.

Still remember that Prop 8 bullshit.

[Wella]

7. A lot of out of state Mormon money

.

[Journeyman]

6. Thank you, Wella. . .

The SOS has done a great job with the site this election. I especially like the ability to tailor the results to "My Contests", then have them on a continuous loop.

[Wella]

9. I like they way they do this

There are certain key races I am watching.

[Le Taz Hot]

10. We're losing the Secretary of State race!

Pete Peterson (R) 50.9%
Alex Padilla (D - sort of ): 49.1%

See what happens when we run a Republican Lite in this state? Jeez!

[Wella]

11. We still have a lot more to go. These are mostly absentee votes

We'll see.

[Le Taz Hot]

13. Oy vey!

[Wella]

18. The race is narrowing

15. Mostly okay, however, my Repub Assemblyman is winning reelection.

He's an oil company shill, anti-labor and an idiot besides. I got dragged to a fund raiser he spoke at by a neighbor and the man babbles nonsense. Yet. He's winning. I don't get it.

[Wella]

16. I'll bet most people don't know his background

and are just reacting to his fearmongering.

[Art_from_Ark]

22. Join the club, Cleita

Tom Cotton is one of the wackiest Arkansas politicians I have heard in a long time, but he beat the son of one of Arkansas's Democratic icons by a wide margin. I don't get it, either

[Hekate]

20. Waiting on Measure P in Santa Barbara County. Trying to forbid fracking here

There's an obscene amount of oil here and offshore, and the oilmen have deep pockets so they've thrown lots of money at us. The level of lies was enough to gag a goat. According to Big Oil, we'd lose all kinds of money for fire fighters, and schools, and all kinds of other of life's necessities.

[Wella]

21. The fear tactics are the only way they can fight

No one wants fracking.

[Cleita]

23. The ads were lies from beginning to end and they got people as experts

on that all seemed credible, so I feel a lot of people may have been fooled.

[Hekate]

25. According to them, no one would ever drill here again. BS-- nothing will stop them, ever.

[Hekate]

29. Damnation. It lost. nt

[JRLeft]

24. Prop 45 is failing.

[Wella]

28. Many many ads on 45

Misled people.
