— Ace @benk84 covered this, of course, but: Filner out, Faulconer in.
CAC, who is temporarily not the Meatball, kept track of the votes as they came in and was able to make a very early call:
I'll take crap for doing this SO early, but #AOSHQDD projects, with a sizable lead in half the vote, that Kevin Faulconer has won #sdmayor

OT but Hillary Clinton walks into a bar and orders a glass of wine.
The bartender says, " That will be $9.00 please"
Hillary hands the bartender a ten dollar bill and he gives it to the other bartender to ring up.
The bartender returns and says with a surprised look on his face, " I don't know how this happened but you have $100 in change coming back"

"Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the clinical psychiatrist who first described the condition, defines it on his website as “a type of depression that occurs regularly, every autumn and winter, when the days get short and dark, though it may occur at other times as well.”
Rosenthal, who is also the author of a book on the matter entitled
“Winter Blues,” said that he has “seen a lot of [seasonal affective
disorder] this season.”

I would make a great mayor of San Diego. Probably a better mayor of San Diego than anyone, ever before. But I could never, ever manage to work a reference to whale vaginas into a comment like this guy just did.
So instead I'm just going to plagerize this comment, maybe forever.

Well, that article sounds a little "off", but Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing. You know why I say that? Because the treatment for it, which is cheap and effective, is just to spend some time under a sun lamp each day. No drugs, no psycho-sessions, just a damn light, which you don't need a prescription for.
If SAD were phoney, there'd be somebody with their hand out, profiting from the treatment.

Back in the day of the Equal Rights Amendment, a Chicago columnist, I can't remember who, wrote that if feminists really wanted to get Illinois to ratify the amendment, they would just bribe them rather than trying to persuade them.
A few months later, there was a minor scandal when an Illinois legislator reported that some feminist had offered him several thousand dollars to vote for the ERA. The columnist explained that the legislator had been scared off by the size of the bribe. They should offer $300 for a vote like that.

The theory that I have heard is that it is the human equivalent of hibernation. Depressed people lose their appetite, sleep a lot and don't want to get out of bed. These are very good strategies for survival if you live in a hostile semi-arctic climate where food and firewood are likely to be scarce in the dead of winter. Evolution does not really care if you are happy.

SD is still semi-sane, but pretty much overwhelmed with the soft forms of stupidity and degradation common in what was once America. So that even those who might out of inertia or cultural ID vote GOP are mostly awash in illiterate "environmental" sensitivity, or extremely vulnerable to the idiotic racist lever of imbecilic guilt. So you get "Republicans" like Arnold.
Also, there is the idiocy that is CA in general weighing on everything. The San Onofre nuke plant is being shut down with over 40 years of useful (and perfectly safe) life still in it, thanks to the idiocy of the populace and the cretinous "senator" Boxer - so if the local utilities commission doesn't approve a previously rejected natural gas plant, we'll have one more reduction in basic energy infrastructure to serve a growing population (though stagnant economy, esp. in terms of anything outside mundane services or health/technology).
And Moo Moo there's not much of the area that resembles LA. If by that you mean the peculiar feel that arises in much of the LA area from the density of development. SD just doesn't have that in many places.
Climate is nearly perfect, as is no secret. Best in North America, anyway. But some of us are scouring the web for skiable x-c snow somewhere in the west - when perfect weather is the norm about 90% of the time, it's fun to "visit" actual weather elsewhere for fun. Wish Quebec wasn't so damn far away - always tons of dry snow at near sea-level. Nordic skiing at 6,000 feet is a bit discouraging for those who can't do it on a weekly basis.

During the Christmas Eve blizzard a couple of years ago in OK, businesses stayed open. Even the next day, restaurants and 7/11s were open and pumping gas, even with drifts almost covering the pumps.
With ice storms, we just drive slower. Only schools and churches close during bad winter weather.

This election, I said I was voting Alvarez. I kept getting calls and letters right up to election day, though I mailed my absentee ballot two weeks earlier. I also got four calls from different pro-Alvarez groups on election day asking if I'd voted.
Bambi.org was very thorough, but this "organized labor" effort was VERY disorganized. The lesson is, some candidates have top orgs running the show, but most of the Democratic effort consists of amateurs. I imagine the same could be said of Republicans. If each candidate doesn't have a top-level org, it doesn't matter how much money the independent supporters have or what they do.
