TOTAL RECALL? Word is Republican backers of the bid to recall Gov. Gray Davis will declare by this weekend that they've got enough signatures to make the ballot.
"They are very, very positive and claim they have the 900,000 they need," said one state GOP leader who has been in close touch with the recall advocates.
"The goal is still to get 1.2 million signatures, but they feel they have enough right now to suspend the professional (read paid) signature operation," our insider said.
"They'll still be collecting more names, but it will be just a dribble."
If true, then the battle will move to the secretary of state's office, where there's already a tug-of-war about how and when to count the signatures.
The recallers are hoping for a quick count -- one that will put the recall on a November special election, when the odds favor a high Republican turnout.
The Demos would like to see it held off until the March presidential primary, when Democrats are expected to come out in greater numbers.
Either way, it should make for quite a show.

Please. The demos would like to see (once again) a Lib judge subvert the will-of-the-people with a stroke of a pen.
Indeed!! Thanks!
