Result Oriented

The votes are in and there are certainly some results here. Every single California ballot measure lost. Most by huge margins. The redistricting measure, which I considered the only worthwhile measure in the whole bunch is losing 60%-40%. All of the Arnold - backed initives have gone down, which doesn't speak well to the prospects for the Govinator. I get the feeling that the space-time rift that has led to an Bodybuilder/Bad actor to be in charge of our State will soon close.

Democrats won governor races in both Virginia and New Jersey and the pundits are taking this as a sign the GOP is in trouble. I, of course, agree.

The surf chick story does not have a have a happy ending. Donna Fry lost 46%-54% to a former Police Chief in her race for the Mayor of San Diego. All I can say is:

Bummer.

In local news, measure I received an overwhelming no vote, mainly on the strength of a last minute Craigorian Chant endorsement.

Yes, too bad about San Diego. They really needed a shake-up there, and instead they voted for more of the same.

Let's hope the voters send Arnie back to Hollywood a year from now. And, hopefully, he won't be back.
