CA 50 headed to run-off election
Looks like Democrat Francine Busby fell a bit short of the majority required to avoide a run-off in CA 50. With 96.6% of the precincts reporting, she leads the special election field at 43.97%. Former Republican Congressman Brian Bilbray came in second place, leading a heavily divided GOP field with 15.16%.
So it's a Busby-Bilbray runoff in June, the same date as the Governor's race primary. Democrat turnout will be heavy for the primary, and Ahnold will be running essentially unopposed for the Pubs, so Busby does have a decent shot at the seat even in a mostly conservative district.
Points to the Dems for their excellent strategery.
