CA-UCB: Newsom still leads in the jungle

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Shame Chiang is doing so poorly.

He's really been bouncing around in the polls. Some have had him near 10% and I've seen some with him at like 3%.

How did Villaraigosa improve and Cox fall so far?

Cox fell because he was the only Republican option the last time.

Wow... I never even thought of what the impact of having no Republican at the top of the ticket would mean for the CA House races. That could be devastating.

The Senate race could play into that as well. If a Democrat or left leaning Indy like Michael Eisen gets the second spot, it doesn't look good for at least Issa. I'd imagine others would have issues and maybe lose as well.

Hard to believe 40 or so years ago California was the headquarters of the conservative movement.

If I lived in California I'd probably vote for the D with the best chance of making the runoff against Newsom, to suppress R turnout for Assembly and House races.

SoCal anyway.

Dixie North and the Urban Bay Area had none of that sh*& (Marin and the Silicon Valley took time to get with the program).

It really amuses me that Plumas used to be a decently solid Dem county.
