In his concession speech, Davis responded to calls of "Recall Arnold" with this (not expressly quoted): This is what the whole circus was about, remember? No recall. Lets put this circus behind us and get this state back on track. I will offer my full support to the transition of office to Schwarzenegger.

*shakes head*

If we learned anything from the craziness of 2000, you'd think we would have learned that no election is over with only 33% of the precincts reporting.

33% is an awfully large number. You can predict winners with 3% reporting if it is not a close race, and this obviously is not a close race in either department.

Yup. The margins in those elections were never more than a few thousand. In these cases it's hundreds of thousands.

I think I woulda voted for Gary Coleman.

At least we have peace of mind knowing that Arnie could never be President of the United States!

Dee Snyder is a republican. I just find that odd.

I guess he and Alice Cooper have a private club of socially conservative shock-rockers.

Uberroth should have stayed in. With a name that has "uber" in it, that's just asking for success

I was thinking the same thing about the Presidency.

Unless they put out an amendment to the Constitution... there's a bill in Congress calling for an amendment to allow foreign-born US citizens to be eligible for the presidency if they have lived in the US at least 20 years.

Explanation: "Yes" and "No" are each identified with a color/pattern combination (see legend).
The color/pattern combination in each county indicates whether the majority of voters in that county voted "Yes" or "No".

The number in each county indicates the percentage by which the majority of voters voted "Yes" or "No" in that county.
