1. This is twice the good news it seems to be.

First, yes, CA picks up another Democratic congressman. But more amazingly, that Democrat won in San Diego, the once safe haven of everything right-wing.

What a revelation! Thanks!

4. I'm pretty sure it was Randy Duke Cunningham's old seat! YOu're

absolutley right..it's at least Twice as Good News! And, it was so close but we Won!

7. Its a new seat - they split the old one

It was supposed to be a safe GOP pick up

San Diego had a democratic sweep - seriously. We won nearly everything (I don't count Issa as he is county not city)

8. I heard even La Jolla went

OBAMA!

Thanks for the info, FreeState.. Cunningham's was part of Rancho Santa Fe, I think..wonder who got that District?

10. Obama won SD County by 5.5%!

11. How embarrassing for Romney

That's where his big mansion is.

2. Another Republican down.

The Republicans are likely to lose 3 members of the House of Representatives from California. Mary Bono Mack has already conceded, and next will probably be Dan Lungren.

3. Thought Lungren already conceded n/t

6. The AP has called the race for Ami Bera, but Lungren has not conceded

Lungren campaign manager, Jeff Wyly, said the congressman would not concede Thursday night and that there would be no further statement from the campaign.

5. Christmas and Santa Claus are still delivering. The Mandate gets stronger ... hey Boehner?

9. Woohoo! Three more House seats for Democrats!

How's that gerrymandate, now, Boner!

[Zorro]

12. Bilbray was shameless

He used his young daughter (who stated she had terminal cancer in an ad) to promote his candidacy.

I think even Republicans thought that was over the line.

14. I canvassed for him for the last 3 days of the election cycle. Feels great now. n/t
