Preliminary election returns show these national totals for each party, in the November 2010 election, for the office at the top of the ballot. “Office at the top of the ballot” means Governor. If a state had no gubernatorial election, it means U.S. Senate. For the four states that had neither a gubernatorial nor a U.S. Senate election, it means U.S. House of Representatives.
The 2010 results are: Republican 49.1%; Democratic 45.6%; independent candidates 1.2%; Libertarian 1.1%; Constitution 1.0%; Green .6%; all other parties 1.4%.
By comparison, the 2006 results for the office at the top of the ballot were: Democratic 49.3%; Republican 45.7%; independent candidates 2.2%; Green 1.2%; Libertarian 1.0%; Constitution .2%; other parties .4%.

The arrogant gerrymander gang winners (mainly in one party safe seat political concentration camp gerrymander districts) always claim a 100 percent mandate from Hell for their extremist party hack agendas.
Richard:
Is it accurate to assume that the AIP in California was NOT included in this tally?
Because this is mostly a tally of gubernatorial races, I did include Chelene Nightingale’s vote total in the Constitution Party column. She is enthusiastically a member of the AIP faction that feels itself affiliated with the national Constitution Party.
I’m surprised at how low the the Constitution Party got percentage wise this year considering that in Colorado Tancredo got 36.8 of the vote and since Nightingale got 1.7 percent of the vote in California and in Wyoming, Haynes got about 7 percent of the vote there as well.
