Great news for Cali! We have been trying to get rid of Mary Bono for years. A true right wing

conservative. Over the past 20 years the Gay population of Palm Springs specifically in the
Cathedral City area has grown exponentially. This is one of the great gifts of having a huge tent
consisting of diversified groups. I am straight with a ton of gay friends and they kept telling
me how Palm Springs was changing. Thank you guys. Another example of the "Times They are a Changing".

1. Congratulations! nt

[wake.up.america]

2. Most conservatives make no sense whatsover.

[doc03]

3. Sweet, two new unemployed Rethugs n/t

4. Raul Ruiz won the election. And the beat goes on.

I always wondered though why Sonny and Mary were conservatives and not liberals.

But Raul Ruiz' name should be in the title thread, as the winner against Mary. (IMHO).

5. We also got supermajorities in the Assembly and Senate! Wooohooo!

No more Republican obstructionism in our state!!

[Mr.Turnip]

8. I think its safe to say that the California republican party is well on its way to being irrelevant.

[BlueCaliDem]

16. Exactly

where they should go: irrelevancy.

The damage they have done to this state is enormous. It's going to take real progressive policies to get us out of the mess, and we can't have obstructionist Republicans standing in our way.

19. GOP in California is extinct. I hope this is a sign of things to come

For the rest of the nation. With complete control on the state government now even 3rd parties have the same amount of "power" as GOP. Resources will still start flowing to other proposition groups and the GOP will hopefully just disappear and be replaced by another more sane alternative.

6. I saw that! And all I can say is . . .

. . . it's sad that she was ever elected to office to begin with.
I've seen her talk.
She's a moran.

[Lucinda]

7. Excellent. Last I heard she was still not willing to concede. I wish Ruiz well!

[Jack Sprat]

9. Double wins.

Her husband running for a congressional seat in Fla lost too. Sweet.

[Cha]

12. So Sweet!

[sammytko]

17. He was running for a senate seat, I believe, but whatever, he's a loser!

[VirginiaTarheel]

10. She is married to Connie Mack? Wow

[Cha]

11. I use to live in Indio in the late '70s for a year and remember

passing through Cathederal City.. It was all so sparse then. I can imagine how much it's grown!

I'm thinking this makes Cher very happy, too. I still remember her saying at Sonny's eulogy that he was only a republicon for reconnaissance. You know that tool, mary bono made her sick.

THanks for the news about CC, busterbrown

[Tutonic]

13. Cali kissed Flo--Connie Mack her old man got

rejected by Florida votoers on Tuesay too! Now they can stand in unemployment lines to gether.

[Jamaal510]

14. Dang Bono looks just like Michele Bachmann!

[lebkuchen]

15. Bachmann has fewer and fewer friends to look like an ass with

I wonder if she'll tone it down any, knowing what 2014 will look like for her.

[struggle4progress]

18. so glad to hear this!
