Wonderful news...Can go to bed happy!

My goodness . . .

A total slap in the face of Davis and his Scum Crew of Mulholland and Company! I love it!

"Hasta la vista, baby"

I think you'll see a very high turnout for this one because:

a. it's historical - one of those "Daddy, did you really vote in that election?" questions 50 years from now.

b. it's receiving saturation media coverage.

c. there are more crazy stories here to interest even the most jaded voter.

d. every vote is going to count since nobody needs a majority to win - except Davis. If Davis fails, a candidate could possibly win with under 20% of the vote. Let's see them call Bush "illegitimate" after that! (of course, the Dems will still try.)

If you can get 20% of Californians to vote for your loony-tune candidate, you're handed the governor's mansion even if there was no way in the world that 50% would have ever voted for him/her/it.

Looking at the polling numbers, McClintock and Simon need to come to an understanding that removes one of them from the running...

CA recall poll *ping*

[goldstategop]

This is from the LIBERAL Gallup poll! The Gray Davis kool aid drinkers won't be able to spin their way out of this one. Nearly every one in California, except for the few special interests in his corner, can't wait to get rid of him. My prediction is the margin will be even larger than the one recorded by Gallup. It will put paid to Davis' hopes of a future presidential run.

"Arnold Schwarzenegger draws the most support, with the current lieutenant governor a distant second place."

[concerned about politics]

replace him with a popular Hollywood actor with virtually no political experience.

Welllllll. They just had to toss that little slam in there, didn't they? That information is "so important" they just had to put that in there.
My guess is they "don't like" their own poll results.

Poll ping. Wow. Grayout has to be going nuts....

[SamAdams76]

In polling, registered voters are the only voters that matter. Why pollsters continue to pay attention to anybody else is beyond me. If you aren't registered to vote, your opinion means squat.

Bill Jones is running? Who knew?

*Simon, Uberoth, Jones, this is your Monday morning wake up call* You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

[hattend]

California voters seem poised to dump their current governor more than three years before his term expires and replace him with a popular Hollywood actor with virtually no political experience.

People always harp on this. Davis is a career politician (as was Clinton). Look at what Davis did for California.

Ahhhnold can't do any worse.

[Quix]

Am trying to restrain myself from having an 'orgasmic fantasy' here . . .

but . . .

COULD IT POSSIBLY BE

THAT

BILLDO and her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous--Bwitch Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Marx de Kevorkian de Sade

and their advice to Gray Sewerwater Davis

could be seen to have helped crash the democrucds in Californicate down around their ankle tatoos and ankle bondage chains????

COULD IT POSSIBLY BE???

COULD IT POSSIBLY FURTHER BE that THEN the evil undynamic duo would be listened to FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR less?

DEAR LORD, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, MAKE IT SO!
