2. It was a way to gin up the campaign commercial spending

Neither side dared believe their own polling, as long as the mainstream pollsters/media kept telling everyone it was neck & neck..

6. Good point.

The media outlets got used to all that $love$. :loveya:

3. A lot of money from Whitman/Fiorina's investment accounts

back into the CA economy. Great way to start the term. :thumbsup:

4. at least she poured 160 million plus into the local economy

Billionaires don't normally do that willingly. California is saying thanks, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

10. According to the punditry

not as much as McMahon did in CT, smaller state, you know :-)

[pinboy3niner]

12. The same report said McMahon spent $37 per voter

Huge difference in state populations.

8. Which is why I don't understand

how Prop. 19 didn't pass. The Democrats obviously came out for the candidates but not for legalization? I can't believe there are that many ignorant Democrats here but apparently there are.

11. What were Rasmussen's last polls on those races? Way off I think!

Was he trying to change the election or report on it?

13. Watching those two disgusting harpies lose is very sweet indeed.

Same goes for those other disgusting teabagger women.
