CA-50 Returns Watch

by: jsw

Tue Apr 11, 2006 at 17:16:39 PM PDT


(Bumped to the top... - promoted by SFBrianCL)

6:20 AM Wed (Final Results) by Brian  All precincts reporting. Busby finishes with 43.92%, Bilbray 15.15%, Roach 14.46%.  The other Dem in the race, Chris Young, has 1.32%, for a combined Dem showing of 45.24%.  I think 44% is about what we expected.  It puts her in a good position for the run-off, especially considering that her opponent, Bilbray, is a lobbyist.  You have to figure that people that wanted a clean Republican will be more than a little hesitant to vote for Bilbray. (Hah!! The Joke is on them! There aren't any clean Republicans!)

For the full results, see the extended The San Diego Union Tribune's results page for CA-50 is here.

10.12:  OK, 33 precincts reporting, and Busby 42.19%, Bilbray 14.59%, Roach 14.02%.  The other Dem in the race, Chris Young, has 1.60%, for a combined Dem showing of 43.8%.  I have to be up at 6 am, so I'm likely to pack it in soon.  Chris Bowers at MyDD has vowed to stay up as long as it takes.  Or, if my colleague SFBrian cares to, he is welcome to take over.

8.19:  Looks like they dumped the absentee ballots into the system.  Busby has 42.23%, Bilbray and Roach both right around 14%.

For someone doing something similar with more experience and a much bigger audience, you should also check Chris Bowers.



7.58:  Words Have Power says the polls were dead quiet today.

San Diego County's running results will be here.

Those appear to be pretty much the same page; North County Times has a different look, at least.

Here's Chris Bowers' prediction for CA-50, and Jerome Armstrong points us to the National Journal's thoughts.

Updates will be posted as the results appear.

Managed Expectations (0.00 / 0)
As Chris at mydd said, 45% seems a nice target.  While I'm optimistic, I don't think we can take anything under 50% as a loss.  We should expect a run-off.  And given how the Republicans have beaten each other up in a quest to be #2, you have to like Busby's chances in that run-off.

By the way...wouldn't instant run-off be really nice right around now?  Sure would save a lot of money.  It works pretty well up here in SF.

I'm proud to work for Kamala Harris for AG.


Wow that's some low turnout if those are the absentee (0.00 / 0)
I'm going to guess that there won't be that many more people to vote today than those who voted early. So, I'm thinking 25% turnout is about what we'll be looking at.

I'm proud to work for Kamala Harris for AG.

They handed out 112K absentees (0.00 / 0)
I think 62K came back.  Turnout is very low.

Polling places were EMPTY (0.00 / 0)
That's what I'm hearing from all my friends here in CA-50. I saw only one or two people going to the one around the corner from me, granted I wasn't watching it all day but kind of poking my head out now and then. Weird, the whole district is WALLPAPERED in signs (you can imagine with 18 candidates and signs are all that many can afford), but nobody shows up to vote.
