For all the pre-election hand-wringing about Democrats -- and Republicans! -- getting shut out of a major race in November, it may not happen at all. For governor, Democrat Newsom (34 percent) and Republican Cox (26 percent) look like safe bets to advance. Democrats look well-positioned in the 39th and 49th congressional districts. Things are dicey in the 10th and 49th, but Democrats currently have a 1- or 2-point lead for second place there, and those leads will probably widen as more ballots are counted. The one place where a shutout seems likely is in the U.S. Senate race, where Kevin de León (D) and James Bradley (R) are currently tied with 10 percent, with (as I mentioned) tons of Democratic-leaning counties yet to report.
