The voters have spoken and the results are in for the 2012 primary election in San Diego. Many of the pundits and polls were right, but there were a few surprises last night, and we now have a much clearer idea about how the campaigns will be shaping up for the general election in November.

How did California's first ever top-two primary work? Did it result in more moderate candidates graduating to the November ballot? And why were local voting results so slow to come in once again?

We look at the mayor's race and at the top two candidates, Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner.
