<<I think Fong and the republicans lost here more than Boxer won. I think that was definitely the case with D'Amato in NY. The democratic base in the City and (less so, the suburbs) was at least as energized as the Republican base upstate and (less so, the suburbs). I think that race was very much a vote against the RR, triggered by disgust with the impeachment noise. Not so much a vote FOR Clinton either, but a vote AGAINST the RR noise over impeachment, and emboldened noise on other issues (such as abortion, nationally...though not in NY.) <<in this state with a non-white non-chistian majority>> That can't literally be true, can it? Unless by Christian you mean fundamentalist, born again Christian? The only sizeable non-Christian part of the California population that I'm aware of is Jewish. What percentage are they? 5%? 7%? Unless there's been a massive Buddhist explosion that I'm still unaware of. <gg> Doug

Glad to hear you voted for Fong...there's hope for you yet. I saw some of Boxer's negative ads and they were pretty nasty. Yet Californians seem to be surprisingly susceptible to such obvious disinformation. Funny how the residents of the leading information technology state can't seem to process political information very well. (I'm sure that will get some negative replies from golden staters). Also, how does Hillary campaigning help? As for Braun no doubt that was a lot closer than expected. Zogby had a pole just before the weekend that showed her in the lead. She made a lot of mistakes especially her first year. I use to live in Chicago and a lot of people in Illinois made up their mind to oust her after her first 6 months in office. Still can't believe it was that close.
