Antcliff is gonna lose, and more than likely lose big, but it won't be for lack of effort.

Antcliff has been campaigning hard over the last month or so and over the last couple of weeks his campaign signs have started to sprout up all over town.

He also opened up a campaign headquarters recently. He moved in to a building hear the downtown are just off the freeway. It used to serve as the HQ for the Sergio Coronado campaign who ran in the Democratic primary for county judge.

Lizarraga isn't taking his victory for granted and has been attending nearly every Democratic party political function and will likely be fielding campaign signs soon himself.

Antcliff has clearly put some money in this campaign, but Lizarraga doesn't really have to spend too much money to win this election. His biggest threat was a really low voter turn-out and a massive Republican turn-out.

But even then, there aren't the numbers for a Republican to win in a county wide election, which is why it hasn't happened since the 80's.

Factor in the fact that Bill White is doing well against Perry and that means Democrats may actually have decent voter turnout (relatively speaking of course) which means is smoot sailing for Lizarraga at this point.
