The stations here in San Diego have pretty much been saying the exact same thing.

Boxer has an 18-wheeler loaded with fixed ballots? A "rigged" election?

I'll take the bait. How? Are you talking about the federal taxes that people in CA pay in like everyone else in every other state, or does CA actually provide funding to the federal government.

Fiorina is going to win. Whitman lost the Latino votes, but we will have Maldonado.

OK, maybe I was out of line with that comment.

But it doesn't change the fact that Meg Whitman's handling of her former housekeeper had swayed some of the Latino votes in the statewide election. Race was involved. CNN's Wolf Blitzer said it. He probably said it in a way that wasn't stereotyping and you know what, I agree with his assessment.

One of the stations in San Diego explained that; something about 17% of the precincts but some polling numbers put Boxer in the lead.

Well, at least someone can easily move to another state! California has voted for drug cartels and higher taxes.

The federal taxes we pay. As we know, that money isn't distributed evenly and when you have so many states that get clocked by tornadoes every year, many of them quite poor we lose. Remember, federal disasters are declared in other states almost constantly. Naturally, that money will go to where it's needed which isn't too often in California because, despite what some may think, God doesn't hate us. He seems to pummel the bible belt more often
