There have been stories lately in the local press about the increase in Democratic registrations this year. Around October 10, the talk was that the Republican majority was "in danger," with over 40,000 new Democrats being registered. However, as far as I know, there are no current "official" numbers, just estimates.
Still, it may be nice to find out that San Diego is no longer a monolithic franchise of the GOP.
I must stress that the talk has been hinting at, but not actually pointing to, a Democratic majority. Perhaps it was just too hard to think about or for some, too much to hope for. Here is an example of the reporting.

Last night, though, I heard something different on the local news. While the numbers still are not official, the buzz is that the total Democratic registrations are just over 541,000, while total Republican registrations are 540,000 as of this election.
Even if these numbers don't pan out, the message is clear enough: there has been a shift in this county that cannot be denied.
