[mshasta]

1. thank you

we need more space...

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. you welcome

god ABC's political analysis, we will see quite the speech from Arnie... and the politics have changed...

[LincolnMcGrath]

2. Public Union Dues 1,467,613 51.3 1,394,207 48.7

[sonicx]

3. all have flipped except 75

still lots of time.

[Cleita]

4. Things are looking better.

Let's hope the union vote picks up. I am disappointed about the last two but thrilled that the important initiatives seem to be getting defeated.

[mshasta]

6. so far...

75 Y Public Union Dues


yes 1,467,613 51.%3

no 1,394,207 48.%7

[nini]

18. it's changed 2% since I looked last

:-)


trying not to get too confident.. but :bounce:

[truebrit71]

7. So if they all go down to defeat...

..does Arnie have to re-pay the state for the expense of this public ass-kicking?

Or better yet, when does the recall effort start?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. nope but the analyst on ABC was terrible

oh and arnie seems to be rather, ahem, subdued.

[sonicx]

8. 1.0% on LA

no movement on 75 overall

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. Come on LA

My mom and sister are both teachers in CA. They're depending on you!

[Tom Joad]

9. Arnold to make triumphant announcement Wednesday, that will be greeted by

all Californians.

He is going to make the Terminator 4 sequel in 2007.

[Mark E. Smith]

11. SF Just Clobbered Arnie

LA, Alameda, and San Bernardino are now stepping up to get in their licks.

We won, people.

[still_one]

17. I can't behave the spin these media whores are spinning

[Mark E. Smith]

28. They're Just Trying To Hold Their Viewers

All of Arnold's fer shit props are dead.

this is way all the way over.

[still_one]

32. yeah I know, but it really pisses me off

[flyarm]

95. can someone pot the link on this thread to the results??? thx n/t

[tandot]

12. Why would anyone vote Y on 75???

I don't understand that!

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. the unios are the enemy

[tandot]

25. Big corporations can give whatever they want to...just not unions

F*ck that! Greedy corporations win again while the poor and middle class are screwed. I am so tired of that BS.

[GreenPoet64]

15. That baffles me too. n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

29. I think their ad was more compelling nt

[mshasta]

14. fuck we need to turn

the 75 from hell Right now!!!!!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. it seems it is moving the right way

[still_one]

23. LA county will be the key

[Guaranteed]

34. Well, I hope not, because this is what L.A. has so far:

Yes No
75 Y Public Union Dues 173,780 50.9 167,776 49.1
Statewide 1,514,094 51.3 1,440,198 48.7

http://vote2005.ss.ca.gov/Returns/prop/19.htm

[fizana]

104. That's mostly absentee ballots

LA is still posting only 1% of precincts reporting. Alameda, even more liberal (Oakland, Berkeley) is at 2.9% & Santa Clara at 25% although both San Fran and San Mateo are just about done reporting.

I think 75 goes down by 3-5 pts - all others get creamed.

....tends to be liberal in most parts except where the corporate lords live.

So...I would bet that it should be enough to turn 75 around.

[ChiciB1]

46. I've Been Hoping That It Would Be!

The "girlie man" governor has obtained a wake-up call tonight and he knows it.

[Stephist]

61. He knows today is tuesday

:) His English is getting worse

[redacted]

63. Why is Arnie on so early? Does he think he's won? I'm gonna puke. NT

[nadinbrzezinski]

70. no he actually is conceding that he lost

as soon as this is over, lets go to work

[redacted]

79. Good. I just couldn't listen. Thanks for the update.

He just makes my blood curdle.

[writes2000]

74. It's a concession speech without completely admitting defeat.

He's talking about how he's going to work with everybody on all sides. "Much work to do."

He knows he's lost.

[NYC Liberal]

77. Is there streaming video??

[Moochy]

90. 73 is scaring me. Fuck those meddling fundie fucks! Stay out of our wombs!

:grr:

[Biased Liberal Media]

98. 73 scares me too. Whatever happend to California??

it's been taken over by freakin Bushbots, I swear.

[Vektor]

116. I know. I think there are some people that are

probably good, caring parents who can genuinely say "If my daughter were pregnant, I'd want to know, I can help" and they will vote YES, just because they actually want to know FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. They have no idea the havoc that would be wreaked on the lives of teen girls who don't live in such supportive homes. Those voters - misguided but still decent parents, would unfortunately screw this whole thing up by voting for what they think is a good law because they have been mislead.

[sonicx]

91. 75 NO is at 49%!!!!
