CA-20/SurveyUSA: Rep. Jim Costa (D) trailing by 10

SurveyUSA will look like the biggest geniuses or the biggest idiots next week.

They haven't been consistently Republican though. They have shown WA-2 to be back in the Democratic column for example. I suspect they are having a hard time figuring out Hispanic turnout in this district. That is all that really matters in this race.

Actually California is one of the few states where there is no enthusiasm gap, perhaps due to the marijuana legalization proposition.

This is relevant in places like the bay area or west La. Prop 19 is certainly not going to close the enthusiasm gap in a Hispanic majority central valley district.

Um ... if your proposed path to victory lies on the backs of stoners, well ...

The stoners are likely saving boxer and thus the senate for the democrats....so yeah.

Kind of Ironic if you consider that Boxer herself opposes the measure.

I wonder what would have happened if Fiorina or Whitman came out in favor of the proposition.

It's more f'ed up than ironic. All major demcrats are against it and yet they are benefitting from it. I almost voted libertarian for attorney general in protest.
