Davis Says Circumstances Beat Him, Hints of Return
Los Angeles Times ^ | November 17, 2003 | Jenifer Warren and Gregg Jones

SACRAMENTO — After five years in office, Gray Davis leaves the Capitol today on an ignominious note, the only California governor ever recalled by voters. But far from being chastened, the 60-year-old Democrat has surprised longtime associates with a reaction that some characterize as deep denial of his fate.

He has hinted at a political comeback — sometimes in a joking fashion, at other times seriously — noting that his removal from office so early in his second term means he still could serve another term as governor, said people close to Davis, all speaking on the condition of anonymity.

There's no reason for us to bash Davis any longer. He's *their* anchor now, not ours. Let him suck up donations from Democratic Party fat cats. Let him appear next to other Democrats, reminding voters that Democrats are losers.

In fact, from here on out, we should *want* Davis to be visible.

It's the Democrats who will want Davis to retire into the night, now...

Davis could become the black hole for the Rats in California.

The giant sucking sound we are hearing again is Davis collecting large sums of money from the Rat Elites in California who are clueless.

I dunno, but I hear he hangs around a lot with someone named "Al Gore".

The power outages, new taxes and exponential spending increases had nothing to do with it.

It simply isn't in the liberal playbook to accept responsibility for ANYTHING, is it?

It's always been apparent that those they wish to subjugate must accept victimhood, but the leaders seem to embrace it so readily also.

WINNERS just don't think this way.
