Winners and Losers in Election 2005 Arnold Schwarzenegger has been widely portrayed as the big loser on November 8, and the Governor’s situation is actually far worse than appears. In contrast, the notion that San Francisco progressives were also losers on Tuesday is wrong, particularly as it relies on a false interpretation of the Sandoval and Prop D campaigns. Nationally, the biggest winner was Virginia Governor Mark Warner, who I now consider a frontrunner for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination. Here’s our take on t...

Schwarzenegger Is Shrimp Toast, Aloha! woke this morning at 5:50 am to some low level cries of my two year old son. When I rubbed his back, said "It's okay," and put him back to sleep, I felt deep in my bones the world was a little better after Arnold Schwarzenegger's Goliath-like collapse in yesterday's special election.
The LA TImes online banner headline describing Schwarzenegger's defeat read like my toddler's vocabulary: "No,No,No,No,No,No, No,No"...

11/8 Labor Victory Statewide; SF's Mixed County Results Nazi Schwarzenegger got the defeat his $70 million special election deserved, and his defeat was led by labor, as it must be.
