20. Getting a wee-bit tipsy here

I've got Ray on KGO and Smirnoff for a little celebration.

Ray reports that CNN says the gropenator won't be governor for much longer.

It is -- how you say -- OVER for the GOP.

come in. And a few in Alameda. Come to think of it - all three of those counties have been silent for a while. Absentee ballots maybe?

27. NYT: Defeats for G.O.P. Come at a Sensitive Time

Defeats for G.O.P. Come at a Sensitive Time

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/09/politics/09assess.html?ex=1289192400&en=8f35a4f28f94f081&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 - After months of sagging poll ratings, scandal and general political unrest, the Republicans badly needed some good news in Tuesday's elections for governor. What they got instead was a clear-cut loss in a red state, and an expected but still painful defeat in a blue one. ...

Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said that in the last seven elections, the party that had won the White House the year before had lost the race for Virginia governor. As for New Jersey, Mr. Mehlman said, "It's a tough state, and our candidate was overwhelmingly outspent."

Ahh the old "lose the election after you win an election" strategy.. Genius!

38. WTF ?!!! I just heard KGO radio say that #73 was too close to call ?!!!

If it was at 52.1 with over 94% of the precincts reporting, I don't get how it could possibly slip back enough to make it "too close to call"!!!
