The OC

[Tender Branson]

Obama is steadily closing the gap. Latest count:

JOHN MCCAIN / SARAH PALIN (REP)       566,011       50.6%
BARACK OBAMA / JOE BIDEN (DEM)        532,365       47.6%

If this continues, it could be rounded to 50-48 ...

Who was the last Democrat to carry OC in a statewide race ? Was there any ?

Here is a nice little interactive map of OC, sbane.

Wow thanks a lot. The precinct map is even better, the sea of blue that is the center of OC is very soothing to the eye. Now that we have you guys fragmented, annihilation is inevitable.   I can't wait to find out what the UCI precinct voted like or my precinct where I live. It must be some insane margins.

Hey, I voted for Obama! I'm the swing baby. I only want to kick you in the nuts a couple of times a week - not everyday. All things in moderation is my motto.

Moving right along, the map is wrong, because I know my precinct went to McCain by 4 votes (along the western edge of Laguna Niguel at about the midpoint right next to Aliso Creek park or whatever it is called, and its blue, and that ain't true!

Well maybe they are factoring in some uncounted absentees/early votes? Or maybe they aren't. But anyways how do you know the results by CD? Can you let me know how he did in the OC districts and the 11th? Or do you only have our CD numbers?

Go to page 47.  Mr precinct 58317 now has a McCain lead of 12 votes by the way. It is getting bigger and bigger!    Punch here to find your precinct.

Ok, I just punched in my precinct (58300), and McCain is leading by 39 votes.

I am sure OC has been carried by at least some statewide democrat running against a horrible candidate, but am too lazy to look it up. But what is fascinating is how Obama is overperforming Feinstein, who is very popular, in many parts of the state including OC.

For a Presidential Race it was last carried by a Dem in 1936 (FDR).
