CA Update: Pombo Race Close; Dream On, San Fran!

Early updates from the Golden State: Pombo barely ahead of McNerny, 50.7 to 49.3—too early for either to qualify for endangered species protection. Pombo-sponsored anti-environmental “eminent domain” prop is up 50.8 to 49.2 with 19% of precincts in.

Meanwhile, 59% of San Franciscans have voted for a city policy calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Wanna take bets on how long it takes for some savvy GOPer to use this as an example of the new Congress’ “San Francisco values”?

Update: The Pombo-McNerny numbers were flipped. Advantage: treehugger.
