CA-48: Special Election Results

Posted by Tim Tagaris

Follow them here.

Absentee ballots counted and John Campbell (R) has cracked 50 percent. I don't know how that snapshot will differ from the ballots cast today, but I would guess that as things got more contentious down the stretch, that will negatively impact the leader's vote totals. Minuteman Glichrist barely cracked 6%. Steve Young is the closest Dem. in 3rd with 10.1%

Check the updates with the link above. It's been an hour and fifteen minutes since the last update, and I am not waiting any longer.

Steve Young, as predicted in earlier diaries elsewhere, came in fourth and won the Dem nomination. While the voting looks bad, a vast majority of the top voters support came from absentee ballot voting. He actual votes at the polls was anemic given that he spent a mininmum of a million dollars on the race.

Now we being to spend money. Remember we sent no mailers, no robo-calls of our own, no cable tv time...we did it the old fashioned way...one person, one group at a time...and we won.

Now we have a three person race.

John Campbell a radical Republican who dodges debates and tries to stay hidded

Jim Gilchrist a one issue candidate with his hordes of one issue followers

And a well prepared Steve Young who will inherit probably 50% of Brewers vote since they were Dem's anyway who drank the Kool-aid and who is going to be doing mailer, on TV and doing a great absentee ballot outreach.

We're right where we wanted to be...preceived as powerless. That way no one thinks you are a real threat.

A victory all around.

Support Steve Young's battle to start the 2006 elections with an electrifying 2005 win at Steve Young for Congress. We have blog ads if you will host them.

If you are affiliated with the campaign -- or even better, with ActBlue -- then could you please let them know that the way the background is set up, no one can read the information without having to highlight what one's trying to read?

Thanks in advance if you could pass that message along...
