In addition, despite millions of dollars in campaign spending and a flood of attack ads, the 2007 California Legislature could end up with the same partisan lineups as the 2006 version.

Democrats won 47 of the Assembly's 80 seats and were leading in a 48th district race that was too close to call early Wednesday. Republicans captured at least 32 seats, the number they had going into the election.

The approval Tuesday of every bond initiative Schwarzenegger had asked for -- four propositions totaling $37.3 billion -- sets the stage for the building of roads, schools, housing and flood-control projects at a level that could dwarf the state's 1960s building boom that became Gov. Pat Brown's legacy.

Here is the rundown of statewide propositions that PASSED:

1A -- Transportation Funding Protection
1B -- Hwy Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, Port Security Bond
1C -- Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund
1D -- School Facility Bond
1E -- Disaster Preparedness/Flood Protection Bond
83 -- Sex Offender Reform
84 -- Water Quality/Flood Control/Park Improvements Bond

Propositions that FAILED to pass:

85 -- Parental Notification
86 -- Cigarette Tax
87-- Energy/Oil Tax
88 -- Educ. Fund/Property Tax
89 -- Campaign Public Funding
90 -- Eminent Domain
