With over 70 percent of the vote counted in California, the water bond (84) is winning with 53 percent and change; the developer-serving Prop 90 is going down with less than 47 percent, and Rep. Richard Pombo, chairman of the House Resources Committee and foe since the early '90s of kit foxes, spotted owls and ethical behavior, is losing handily to newcomer Jerry McInerney in District 11. Sure, the oil tax is failing -- people vote their pocketbooks, after all -- but where it counts Californians have voted for green and open space, clean water and environmental responsibility. All the infrastructure bond bills are sailing through, too. Kinda makes you proud to live here, Republican Governor and all.
