Election Results = Why I Live in CA
Advertisements [?]
Yep, losing the House sucks. It's ironic that the people who will be hurt most by what the Rs will try to get through legislatively are also the people who voted most heavily for the Rs.

But yesterday was a great day for Ds in CA. Jerry Brown elected, Boxer reelected, Whitman and Fiorina sent packing, many D wins down ticket as well, Propositions passed that will end the gridlock of the 2/3 majority vote threshold in Sacramento, Prop 23 defeated (the one paid for by Tx oil companies and intended to destroy CA's global warming laws. Prop 19 was probably the least-important Prop on yesterday's ballot). On my local level, we recalled 3 anti-public school School Board members and replaced them with pro-public education people.

CA's elections yesterday were a Democratic dream. So sorry the rest of the country voted for stupidity and worse.
