I haven't heard a peep about this, so I don't think it was a factor at all yesterday at the polls

40% doesn't seem like anything to get excited about. It's always good to hear that more people are turning out to vote, but it's only up from 39.7% in the last midterm election.

Angelides conceded to Schwarzeneggar late last night... Currently, KCRA shows Arnold w/ 56% of the votes. Even though this will be his first full term, because of term limits, he will not be able to run for reelection in 2010.

I watched KCRA until 11something last night and I've been watching since 5something this morning. I saw some changes like Garamendi & Bowen taking the lead for their respective offices...

I looks like these are soundly defeated!

KCRA just reported that the House is now controled by the Democrats & Nancy Pelosi is the new Speaker of the House.

ahh! Awful Wallys... Thanks again!

That's it! Thanks Petunia & welcome to the site!

I just saw this covered on KCRA...

ouch! Though, it's not very surpising based on the other two posts you just made about voter inaccuracies & w/ the Hacking Democracy film on HBO! Personally, I don't have a lot of confidence either...

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Christmas and says," I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this!"
She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Christmas and paying their own way."

A police officer pulled a guy over for speeding.

Officer: May I see your drivers license?

Driver: I dont have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the owners card for this vehicle?

Driver: Its not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?

Driver: Thats right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owners card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: Theres a gun in the glove box?

Driver: Yes sir. Thats where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: Theres a BODY in the TRUNK???

Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

Driver: Sure. Here it is.

It was valid.

Captain: Whos car is this?

Driver: Its mine, officer. Heres the owner card.

The driver owned the car.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if theres a gun in it?

Driver: Yes, sir, but theres no gun in it.

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said theres a body in it.

Driver: No problem.

Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I dont understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didnt have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.

Driver: Yeah, Ill bet the lying son of a bitch told you I was speeding, too.

You know you get 'em... why not share 'em here!
