San Diego is blue as can be.... The City and the County

Democrats harnessed high voter turnout, favorable registration figures and a throng of labor-minded volunteers to potentially sweep every high-profile race on the ballot in San Diego County.

The surge was part of a broader Democratic trend that included notable victories in California and re-elected President Barack Obama.

In San Diego, Rep. Bob Filner became only the second Democrat in the last 40 years to lead the nation’s eighth-largest city. His election led a string of victories in local city, county and congressional elections.

California voters passed Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30 to temporarily raise sales and income taxes on high earners to fund education and public safety. And they rejected Proposition 32 that sought to prohibit unions from using payroll-deducted funds for political purposes.

1. Damn! I'm sorry my mom didn't live to see this...

For years, she claimed she was one of only two Democrats in Rancho Bernardo -- then became the only one after the other passed away. She died at age 91 a year ago last March; it would have amazed her no end to see a place she used to describe as the one far-right area in California suddenly shift blue.
