This is your Super Tuesday election results thread including the much anticipated California exit polls for the GOP primary. We will know who won the Republican primary in California sometime this evening on Tuesday, June 8th. On the Democrat side Barbara Boxer will win the uncontested primary vote in California, and stands ready to face any challenger in November.
Just click the live blog session to join the conversation. We will have the vote count, winners and losers, CA exit polls, and election news updates as soon as they are available.
Update: general election winner between Boxer and Fiorina and any exit poll data will be included in the live blog located via the link in the left sidebar.
See much more here.
The latest California polls suggest that Carly Fiorina wins here, but Tom Campbell is putting up a good fight. In fact he led the race until very recently when Sarah Palin endorsed Fiorina, providing a huge bump in the polls and turning the race upside down. Chuck DeVore is also running and within striking distance although every poll so far has him in 3rd place which is where we expect him to be on election night.
You can see all of the latest polls in California right here for both the general election match-ups and GOP primary contest. The most recent date from each polling outfit is summarized here:

Carly Fiorina appears to be running away with the California primary. Expect her to have a nice bump after Tuesday with some post-election polls showing her leading Barbara Boxer in the general election. But first she needs to win the primary election so join us live in the session at the top of this article.

Get it right, it’s the “Democratic” party. Just because GWB didn’t know better doesn’t mean you all have to make the same error.
I’m really hoping for Fiorina to win. She was a horrid disaster for Hewlett Packard (ask anyone in the computer industry). It won’t much to educate the public how bad she tanked that company (stocks dropped 60%), how she was forced out by the board of directors, and how the stock rose when everyone heard she was leaving (with her $20 mil golden parachute, of course).
Seriously, if you know someone who works with computers, ask them.
What’s up with the daily kos poll? I thought people here only trusted Scott “GOP+5%” Rasmussen polls.

Uh no, that’s an old academic debate relegated these days to coffee shops where liberal college professors gather to feign outrage about whatever bugs them.
The English language is a wonderfully flexible, ever evolving and populist language where everyday usage becomes acceptable through its very usage unlike the Queen’s English of our former masters. Democrat Party is fine usage these days.
Regardless, I was speaking of the primary contest among Democrat Party members (i.e. “Democrats”), not the Party itself in my construct.
Ah to be a young wide-eyed Democrat like you again. How I long for the days when I too dithered on words while oil spills and wars raged.
June 7th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
mccain,
i think you mean “democratics”
as in, “look the poster named me is a democratic”
June 7th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Actually, democrat party is not only incorrect English, it is pretty much about the most red neck think I’ve heard in ten years. I grew up in the south, but you are really sort of stupid even by full retard standards.
Democrats didn’t start the war in Iraq, remember?
I also know acadmemia and no one knows about the “old academic debate” you are talking about in regards to Rasmussen polls. I suppose if they have coffee shops, you have this idiotic web site to run from a basement in Alabama?
Honestly, I was just looking for some election results in a google search, and your retarded comments showed up. That’s sad.
Searchterms…

That’s some google kung fu for the next person that wastes their time reading this blog. Next time don’t try to sound smart. You’ll sound wiser if you talk in your natural stupid dialect.

Carly’s $20 million was chicken scratch compared to what Robert Rubin got for bankrupting Citibank. Also, I don’t recall HP being in a hurry to reverse Carly’s purchase of Compaq after her departure, in fact since 2005 HP has made huge market share gains becuase of Carly’s decisions. She’s done far more then Boxer ever did. Boxer’s Workers Comp attorney husband Stuart and his cronies at Teamsters Union practically single handedly bankrupted the California Workers Comp system. Boxer has done nothing in her life but be a political hack. Carly will beat Boxer. No doubt in my mind. Time for Boxer to go back home to Marin County.

Democrat Party? Gosh, I thought it was the Communist Party! So there!
BTW, Brown does have competition as well as Boxer. Won’t it be interesting if Kaus wins? Ha.
They can take as many polls as they like, it all comes down to the GOTV. (Get out the vote.) If everyone who is voting for Brown and Boxer thinks they are running unopposed, they may stay home. I would certainly appreciate that. *heh*

The English language is a wonderfully flexible, ever evolving and populist language where everyday usage becomes acceptable through its very usage unlike the Queen’s English of our former masters.
Well, don’t get me wrong– of course I’m for populist language. Speaking of populists my every day usage of the “teabagger movement” has your blessing too, I assume.
What a wonderfully flexible language we stole from the British!
Carly’s $20 million was chicken scratch compared to what Robert Rubin got for bankrupting Citibank.
Thats a great campaign ad idea there, Rob. Let’s see, something like:
“Unlike other suits, Carly only received a tiny $20 million reward for pile-driving her company into the ground.
Carly Fiorina. Because it could be worse.”
Please be Fiorina… please please… I still smile when I think of how the McCain campaign had to put a cork in her mouth after she dissed both Palin AND McCain in one swoop. Y’know, cuz it’s a good idea to say your presidential candidates couldn’t even run a company.
And she disappeared from television shortly thereafter.

I know the term drives dems up the wall. What I can’t figure out is why they don’t start calling reps ‘publicans’. Both meanings would cause reps concern; it’s either someone who owns a tavern or it’s someone who collects taxes.
June 8th, 2010 at 11:03 am
What I can’t figure out is why they don’t start calling reps ‘publicans’.
Republican’ts?
Abbreviation: Repubes?
Such a flexible language.
June 8th, 2010 at 11:35 am
“Abbreviation: Repubes?”
No…
“Pubes”
The party with hair on its balls.
There. New name that fits.
We dont shave and were over 12 years old
June 8th, 2010 at 11:36 am
I doubt it will take
June 8th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Hell, if we’re going for accuracy and Truth in Advertising, then we SHOULD be calling it the “Force the Unpopular Legislation down the throats of the American People” Party (or is that, simply, the current definition of “Progressive”?)!
Tell you what…
YOU want to DEFINE what other call you and your party – fine enough… Should not Republicans, then, be permitted the same respect?

Their vices? Yes. Respect? Sorry, that’s earned.
June 8th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Okay, then, you’re giving “permission” to anyone to call Democrats, democrats.
If “your side” wants to use insulting (and equally INCORRECT) terms such as “tea baggers” for the Tea Party attendees, then you’ve got to expect what you get…
That “earned respect” thing is, obviously, a two-way street…
Democrats have yet to EARN the respect of Republicans (and MOST Americans have LOST what little respect they MAY have had for the Democrats)…
Oh, and while we’re on the “correct” terminology kick… They’re ILLEGAL ALIENS! They are neither “undocumented” nor “immigrants”.
And, as a side note “comprehensive” immigration reform IS AMENESTY. Why don’t we just implement Mexico’s “illegal alien” policies, here? I’m sure NO ONE would have any problem with OUR military being stationed on OUR southern border.

Arriba (#8), great point. Are you referring to my comment (#6)? It would fit.
June 8th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Please allow me to explain my last comment. I end up calling most Republicans, ‘Repukians’. Remember everyone, they voted for the TARP as well. Yes, I am a Tea Party coordinator. I am also a Conservative, and I want these bums thrown out! (Except Tom McClintock and Duncan Hunter.) Yet I do NOT wish to see another Commie in Congress or the Senate or the WH EVER AGAIN.
I think that about covers it.
June 8th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Democrats, Democratics, Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans, Moonbats…
They’re all a$$holes.
All we can do ( I hate feeling powerless) is look at them as hard as possible and hope for the best if we select them.
I used to have faith that a candidate would somewhat live up to the brand they burn themselves with.
The best we can do is look at their history and hope they dont pull a Spector.
I’m tired of chosing between lesser evils
June 8th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Is anyone else worried about the republican candidates (Carly and Meg) in CA buying the election with their own money? No matter what party; just seems counter to the notion of democracy.
June 8th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Nope, not worried. Would you rather they spend our money? It’s theirs, they can spend it any way they want.
June 8th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
well my HP keyboard just stopped working one day. I tried new batterys and no good. so I switched to iMac and love it. Takes only 30 some odd seconds from a cold boot-up to be on the net, which just amazes me. no virus or spyware or endless pop-ups either. big improvement. Thanks Carly for making me jump ship!
June 8th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Brian…HUH ?
You okay ?
June 8th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
micky I get you have trouble processing new information, but well, this is new information. carly fiorina was head of HP, Hewlet Packard and made some management decisions that got her packing and the stock tanking. She is no genius business person other than having sold herself to be head of a HP. So since my HP computer stopped working for me regarding keyboard and booting issues I switched over to the iMac and am much happier.
