That's ... very strange. Each wants to know what the other has done? Each doesn't want to know? Are they…
She certainly seems well-versed enough!
You're changing the subject from surfing. And from peckerheads.

Good for Dan.
This just in…Cardboard Tom wants a recount!

I hope someone is watching the ROV…I would hate to see some ballots added to the pile after the lights go out tonight,
Congrats to Janet, Art and Dave Gilliard
Team Trung is trying to photoshop 53 more votes right now
Who’s the biggest loser in Orange County politics right now?
Trung Nguyen or Timothy Whitacre
Congrats to Janet and her staff for proving that bigotry can be a successful tool in gaining elective office. Now go grab your yellow and red rag for that country that doesn’t exist anymore and wave it proudly and tell us all how this is a great “immigrant” success story. Janet, Trung and the rest of the anti-Latino crowd along Bolsa Ave. may be thinking that the Viets pulled something off tonight, but they will fall like Saigon in the next election.
Didn’t Ryan Gene and Thomas Gordon each get more votes in last year’s Santa Ana Council elections than Carlos did in this race? How much did he pay per vote by the way?
Trung Nguyen or Timothy Whitacre
With theses two should’t the question just be
“”who is the biggest loser in the OC period “”
“I hope”,
I think the biggest loser might be the poor woman that Timmy will beat in anger tonight.
Is Leyes resume written on an old cheesburger wrapper or on the back of one of those discarded pizza boxes that litter Stately Leyes Manor?

Hey Van
Mad Magazine called
They want there mascot back now that you are done using him
How many ballot are left to count?
Are not all the ones uncounted, going to be demo votes?
If there are 3000 to count and they are 99 percent Demo’s.
Every day the numbers will change and the tiny tiny lead can disappear quite fast.
Sac,
Perhaps 2,000. Let’s hope for the best. I think Umberg and Bustamante are done, but Trung could conceivably photoshop himself into first place. Let’s hope that does not happen…
Art,
Before you pour that glass of Haterade to celebrate, did it ever occur to you why so many of us didn’t vote for Bustamante.
It was because we wanted him to stay right where is, to combat the likes of Sal Guessmyagenda, Michele Youthandnothingbutheyouth,and of course Claudia.
Congratulations Santa Ana!
There is still hope for this City and all of its residents to prosper.
#16 … and I bet you’d go to the Super Bowl or World Series only to LOSE. Your supposed theory is a cockeyed one. If you’re the caliber of voter Bustamante attracts, then he’s burnt toast when it comes to politics.
From the ROV website:
3469 ballots to be counted.
Break down: 2716 absentee, 747 provisionals. 6 paper
From the last election, all of these ballot went to the Democrat candidate who was behind on election day, but prevailed after the final count.
I think it is very likely to happen again.
Tom need 38 percent of the uncounted ballots. It is not over until its over.
Needless to say the canidate I voted for finished in the top 10.
