California's Proposition 19 Fails, As Pot Legalization Thwarted [PROP 19]

California's Proposition 19 Fails, As Pot Legalization Thwarted [PROP 19] Weeks after the election, Prop 19 is still the talk of the nation. Advocates of Prop 19 aren't going to give up now that it has been defeated. Instead, the bill will likely go through some revisions, ironing out some of the weaknesses identified during this legislative process.

For instance, one weakness was that it was municipalities and not the state that was charged with the responsibility of setting taxes on marijuana, which could lead to price wars. Furthermore there is currently no way to easily test if someone is under the influence of marijuana - sort of like the breathalyzer test.

There's almost no doubt in my mind that Prop 19 will be brought back onto the ballot in California during the 2012 elections, and perhaps even in other states as well. Legalizing and taxing pot is really one way that states can pad their budgets.

And considering that Proposition 19 got more votes in California than Meg Whitman, maybe some could venture to say that Californian's would rather have marijuana legalized than have another Republican governor?

[Calif.] California Election Results 2010 [UPDATES]

California Election Results 2010 are available.  Major California election races included prop 19, the Senate Race, and the Gubernatorial race.  In the end, prop 19 failed to legalize marijuana.  In addition, incumbent Barbara Boxer kept her seat in the US Senate. 


Jerry Brown, the former governor of California back in the 80's re-claimed his post.  Meg Whitman, the billionaire ex-CEO of eBay lost her bid to become California's first woman governor. This is actually quite curious, because on Glenn Beck yesterday he showed a clip of Jerry Brown saying back in the 80's that you say what you need to say to get elected, but nothing ever changes. 


Carly Fiorina didn't win, either. As we mentioned before, Barbara Boxer is heading back to the Senate.  This is another GOP blow. 


Nancy Pelosi was re-elected to serve another term in the House, although at this time it's uncertain if she will serve.  She was the first female Speaker of the House, dubbed "The Most Powerful Woman in Washington", although she is without her old post now that the GOP took over the House.  John Boehner, the representative from an Ohio District is the presumed speaker of the House now.

Of course we have learned that propositions like 19 and 23 failed during California election results 2010.  In addition, one district is sending Nancy Pelosi back to Washington for yet another term in Congress and the people of California are sending Barbara Boxer to the Senate again. 

Jerry Brown has become the governor, again, after being the governor of the state almost 30 years ago. Meg Whitman didn't win the governor's race despite throwing MILLIONS of dollars of her own money in to the failed campaign. 

Carly Fiorina also lost her bid for the Senate seat. 

Also failed was Prop 23, which would suspend the controversial AB 23 initiatives until the state's unemployment was down to 5.5% or lower - which hasn't occured in this state even before the economic collapse.

California Election Results 2010: Barbara Boxer vs Carly Fiorina Senate Race

California Election Results 2010: Barbara Boxer vs Carly Fiorina.  Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina are two of the hottest Senate candidates in the Country.  Barbara Boxer is the Democratic incumbent senator, who is facing opposition from one of the women that Sarah Palin has lovingly dubbed "Mama Grizzlies", Carly Fiorina.

Barbara Boxer is expected to win the California senate seat, although the same was believed about Blanche Lincoln, the incumbent from Arkansas who lost to her opponent John Boozman. 


So will California stay blue, or will Californians, like Arkansans, buck back and vote out the incumbent senator?

California Elections 2010

California elections 2010; there are many elections taking place in California tonight that are garnering a lot of attention. The California Elections 2010 include not only prop 19 but also prop 23, an expensive gubernatorial race, and a pivotal senate race.

The implications in California are arguably higher than any other state in the nation. For instance, if Prop 19 passes, then the road will be paved for widespread legalization of marijuana. If prop 23 passes, then a push against the state's version of the cap and trade bill will suggest that cap and trade is not good for the broad economy.

Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina are in a fierce Senate battle. If Fiorina wins, it will indicate a shift against incumbents.

Stay tuned later on, as we will let you know what's going on with the 2010 California elections as the results are revealed.
