The NYT, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Chron are calling it for Boxer, with a 4-point spread and 30% of precincts reporting, ending a bitter fight with Republican Carly Fiorina that might have ended Boxer's 18-year run in the Senate.

Gavin is also projected to win the Lieutenant Governor's race by about a 5-point spread over the incumbent, Abel Maldonado.

As we mentioned Jerry Brown pretty easily sent Meg Whitman packing, and we hope she doesn't miss that $160 million, give or take.

But it is looking like Republican candidate for Attorney General Steve Cooley is going to prevail over Kamala Harris, according to the Chron's results. And as exit polls were suggesting earlier, the hope of legalizing pot in California, at least before 2012, has vaporized.
