Early parties here…watching 2 critical CA propositions…73 and 75
73 Abortion notice for teenagers…currently about Yes 49 No 50 …we want the no vote
75 Union Dues not allowed for political contributions…currently 50.3 to 49.7 too damn close
All the others are going down big time…
For those of us junkies that can’t wait for tv – check here…

Good, so the anti-union prop has narrowed since I saw it.
Well, at least Ahnuld is getting his butt kicked on the redistricting and budget props. He is going to be one lame duck.
CA SoS official tally has ALL props going down [73 through 80].
“99.9% ( 17637 of 17657 ) precincts reporting as of Nov 9, 2005 at 4:58 am” (Sec. of State).
A clean sweep – hot diggity! A little coffee and then dancing in the streets!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO
That pretty much sums it up … no?
:<)
So far, only one of his measures is ahead – the anti-union one – but
that’s 51 – 49%, and hardly any of LA has been counted yet. So let’s
hope that one goes down too. The state spending cap and redistricting
measures have officially lost. Teacher tenure is losing by the same 51
– 49% margin as the anti-union bill is winning.
I’m figuring LA city will probably move things in a positive direction, so again, let’s hope.
Oh, and the evil parental notification abortion bill is losing too, but is still close.
.
Proposition 76, which would have capped state spending, was defeated. With 45 percent of precincts reporting, it was losing 61-39 percent.
Proposition 77, which would have transferred the power to draw legislative boundaries from lawmakers to three retired judges, failed by a slightly smaller but still substantial margin.
Schwarzenegger’s proposal to make it harder for public school teachers to get tenure, Proposition 74, was losing 52-48 percent.
His final proposal, to curb unions’ ability to raise campaign cash, was deadlocked.

As of 11:03 pm pst…from the link above…all propositions are in the no column!
I’ve never been so happy to see that much red!
The margins are narrow…but I feel better watching these trends tonight…
.
can still have a major shift as large city votes come in as example, for the close races.

That’s why I’m feeling kinda good. Hardly any of LA has been counted yet…
Large Cities vote Blue here…San Francisco and LA…big union towns! Late votes from the cities invariably vote progressives!
Hot damn! SF isn’t in either?

I think a lot of people may have gone, “this whole special election sucks, we shouldn’t having one and I am voting no on everything.”
Back when I lived in CA, I tended to do that if I felt overwhelmed by too damned many ballot initiatives. Admittedly that’s not the BEST way to vote. If I were in CA this year, thanks to the blogs I’d probably resist giving in to that temptation – am a bit disappointed to see 79 & 80 go down in flames. Der Gropenfuhrer’s four plus Prop 73 were truly poison – right now I’m cautiously optimistic that they’ll also be defeated.
Go Cali Go!! I am so happy. Props 76, 77, and 78 down. Props 73, 74 and 75 are likely down. This election was a scam maneuver. Totally unnecessary and just spent millions of dollars that would have been better spent on pro-choice counselling and high school education. Mr. Gropenfuerer just learned a nice lesson about California politics…hahahahaha.
If ’73 really gets voted down, I will seriously do one very happy dance.
may be equal to his chances of ever winning an Oscar.
Only one still leading right now — that’s Proposition 75, to limit use of public employee union dues for political purposes, and it’s down to 50.3%.
I think the California voters have spoken up and said that while they don’t mind the initiative process, they don’t like to see the process abused by an unnecessary special election.
Prop. 73 is still running pretty close as well, but seems to be trending in the NOward direction as well.
I’m pretty proud of my fellow California voters this evening, even those I disagree with, because they all got out and made their feelings known at the polling place…
Yeah. It’s like, “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…uh…we won’t get fooled again!”
You guys did awesome on your no votes down there!
My true blue Marin…well we are 65% or better no votes on almost everything…and 75% no on Prop 73! Damn it feels good to live in these counties!
when the absentees were trending NOward earlier this evening down here — thought it was a great sign. 🙂
KRON just reported that 75 has just turned in the NOward direction. According to SecState, now NO 50.4%, YES 49.6%. Freakin’ awesome…though still too close to call…damn, my fingernails are too short to bite…

Hey, you guys think…maybe, just maybe…the end may be in sight to “our long national nightmare”?
S’over. Clean sweep. LA will only widen the gaps.
Night Arnie. Night Maria. Night All.
It’s really refreshing to watch this $50 million debaucle kick Schwarzenegger’s butt….
I think I’ll try to post only 73 and 75 next time…we know the others are in the good column.
Personally, I’ve had a shitty week. But I have to tell ya, this is cheering me up considerably.
Oh, Lisa … you have had a tough one 🙁 Hugs… Bear and Althea and Valerie P. send their love too.
Murphy is sitting on my lap right now (to this cat, I am The Lap).
Tell Bear and Valerie P. that I (and Murphy and Spike) say Howdy!
Murphy, weren’t you named after a bed? Spike, I’m not sure about your name though.
Bear has been sneezing for days … i’ve been boiling water for him. Not sure what else to do.
Althea gets to go outside because she’s a tough refugee from a Wal-Mart parking lot and, having lost her tail in a car engine while she tried to keep warm, is very wary and wily…. but lately she’s found the crawl space under the house and I’m worried what creatures she’s going to bring up with her.
I’m dying to see Valerie P.’s home … how does she make room for herself and those three growing teens?
(I fell asleep at 8:30 and woke up at 11pm… must get caught up on the results.)
I’m thrilled that Arnold is not doing well!
Yes, murphy was named after a murphy bed. Spike was named…as sort of a joke…he was a very skinny, almost pathetic looking cat…my sis called him Spike after the character on Buffy. Little did we know. He turned into this 25 lb BEAST and he is a real brat.
I am glad that Bear stays inside. Where is Valerie P. living?!
Ahuld still losing on everything….tee-fucking-hee!
I think that Valerie P. lives in a giant old tree in back of our large common yard for the two duplexes. But I can’t imagine the space is big enough for Val + the three growign teens. If I were a tree climber, I’d go find out.
They’re really pigging out on food now. Bulking up for winter! Got a 40 lb. bag of dog food plus a 80 oz. jar of peanut butter, etc., etc.
…
on a sad note, I’m incredibly sad that Prop. 1 failed in this county. The fatcat real estate agents’ campaign “Dont Lose the American Dream” worked, I guess. Of course, their dream is the disappearance of all farm land, replaced by hideous rows of McMansions.
We’ll have to take a lot of photos quickly so we can remember what the countryside once looked like.
And then you can match them up

with the streets that will be named after the features and creatures obliterated by the developments: Meadow Run, Fox Lane, Deer Road, Maple Avenue.

WOOT!! Just saw on Seattle 4 tv.
Isn’t that truly incredible and impressive, Gooserock?! It makes me so proud of our voters….
it would have meant a big savings for them everytime they fill up but they realize (hell, what sentient person couldn’t?) that our highways need repair and maintenance badly.
And both health care measures are failing?
P.S. NIGHTLINE is showing the late election results for the West Coast.
If Nightline did something I missed it.
* Seattle PBS TV – Fundraising.
Except for the 11pm News, coverage was pathetic.
I worked at KING TV in the early 70s. All programming was suspended. We put up the latest results with numbered cards on a wall. Senators Jackson and Magnuson wandered around the set. Such a different time.

Arnie is done for. He was on fairly early smiling for 2006. That’s when I knew we had a sweep on our hands. All gone down in a loud, clear signal to the Gropenator. We carried both the urban strongholds, the North Coast Wine and Redwoods, and then as a capper a lot of very independently minded mountain voters. It’s a very good night!

Telemundo is owned by NBC/GE, this guy has some cojones
Big counties voting yes on 73, 74, and 75 were Kern, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, San Joaquin, and San Diego Counties. The little rural counties voted mostly Yes on 73-75 BUT not all of them…!
Okay blue Californians…we now where we are campaigning in 2006…the results just gave us locations to target!
And, you know, urban San Diego is blue – though I was so disappointed that Donna Frye lost the mayoral race. The last decent mayor San Diego had was a Democratic woman (Maureen O’Connor) – you think they’d try it again…
OMG!!! I am just literally crying with shock. There is hope. Prop 73 is losing at 12:00 a.m. Prop 73 was for parental notification for abortion for minors. This is such a heavy prop because all of us parents want to be notified. For the majority of us to say we will give up that to protect those kids who can’t talk to their parents really says something. It is hope. I expected to lose this prop and to see we are winning, even by a small margin, is hope beyond any I have felt in the past year. Thank you California.

Where’d everybody go? Well, WAKE UP EASTERNERS to your gift from the West Coast—as of about 1;20a. there’s close to 90% of the precincts in, and there’s no proposition on the board with even 48% approval.
As you saw above, it wasn’t until about 57% of the precincts were in–and about 15% of LA County–that Prop 75, the union one, flopped dead. Now it’s getting even fewer votes than the parental notification prop that died earlier.
You also know that all the school board seats up for election in Dover, PA were won by opponents of teaching ID in bio class. And the last time I looked, even the Attorney General race in Virginia was about 1000 votes shy of another Dem victory.
And the CBS poll of registered voters, who would now vote Kerry into the presidency…

Too funny – while typing my last comment, I was thinking that you likely partake in cat naps. Lo and behold, there’s a nappin’ kitty in your reply!
Good day! I understand this is a California thread, but I didn’t know where else to post my comment. (So please forgive this Minnesotan for treading on Cali)
Minneapolis had a fairly unusual mayoral election on Tuesday – in that the only two candidates were both Democrats. While reading this morning’s Minneapolis Star Tribune, I ran across a comment that caught my eye – and it made me wonder about the impact of unions in future races. (While realizing, of course, that this was an atypical election.) As a point of reference, Ryback was the incumbent and ultimate winner. McLaughlin was his opponent.
“McLaughlin had the support of the city’s unions, including Local 82 of the Minneapolis firefighters. President Tom Thornberg said Rybak’s win was a blow to labor.”
“It’s really inconceivable for me, as big a labor town as Minneapolis is, that the candidate that is endorsed by all of labor can’t win,” he said. “We’ll have to do some evaluating.”
Individual unions supporting issues and candidates hasn’t played well in the past few elections here.
The governor alienated the teachers, firefighters, police, and nurses all at the same time this year. Together they put up a fight that started before the special election was even official.
So…the firefighters supporting McLaughlin was good but the others need to join the fight to kick butt!
Just my .02 observation

I just want to tell y’all about our vote. Here in Katherine Harris’ Sarasota 80% of the people who voted said yes to a proposal to tax ourselves for the purchase of natural habitat and urban parkland. This vote adds 10 years onto an existing tax due to expire in 2019.
My county is crawling with republicans, but sometimes they’ll do the right thing. Fortunately, the cultists had ‘other priorities’ than making the effort to vote, it’s just easier to complain.
