even with the Ribbon of Shame gone and an open primary, the conservatives lost big, weighed down by wet tea bags around their necks
but I see Chris Mitchum beat Justin Fareed who beat Dale Francisco to challenge Lois Capps in November...Chris is Robert Mitchum's son and of course Robert Mitchum was a genius..so the name helps.....Dale got beat by Justin? wow!! good job, Justin!
Dale's persona as the ultra-conservative Mr. Rogers type just didn't project outward from his little neighborhood bubble...low energy is bad for a politician....
Janet Wolf beat Roger Aceves handily....I think the ad showing Roger walking on the beach with his big beer belly hanging out was..uh..incongruent
Bill Brown beat wife Sandra Brown for Sheriff...no sex for Bill for awhile!!
Kamala Harris won AG..Orly Taitz ran but came in next to last...
speaking of the status quo, the News-Press guest editorial writers Lanny and Andy called all the races wrong..their lack of political acumen is stunning....how long can Wendy publish a newspaper that is always wrong? that is always seemingly losing money? that is always on the wrong end of the rainbow???
will the News-Press go the way of the OC Register?

seven weeks after launching a new Los Angeles newspaper amid great fanfare, the Orange County Register's parent company, Freedom Communications Inc., is showing signs of financial distress.
The Santa Ana company said Tuesday that it is merging the Long Beach Register, a newspaper launched in August, into its Los Angeles counterpart and imposing immediate two-week furloughs companywide, to be taken by the end of July.
Other cost-cutting measures include shrinking the number of news pages 25% and offering buyouts, as a precursor to potential layoffs. Newsroom personnel were told the company planned to cut up to 100 jobs.
"The major red flag here is the immediate furloughs," said Ken Doctor, a media analyst for Outsell Inc. "It screams out: We don't have enough cash to make payroll."
not enough cash to make payroll....hmmmm

Wendy's co-publisher let slip at a dinner party a few years back that the storied News-Press is losing Wendy about $3 million a year. Even the well-endowed can't endure that kind of trauma forever. Now might be a good time for readers to start asking for refunds as she no doubt will soon be pulling the plug on what was once a newspaper.
