It has been almost a week since Arnold announced that he entered the California Gubernatorial recall and nada from the polls of all polls about California politics( the Field Poll, or so as I have read from the Califonia media).
Why the silence?
JMO, but if it was Ronald Reagan being recalled "The Field Poll"(and if the recall poll results for Reagan looked as grim as they are for Davis) the "Field Poll" would have called up their buddies at the LA Times and the SF Chronicle and it would have been trumpeted as above the fold front page news.
JMO, the Field poll's silence speaks volumes. The Field Poll, the LA Times, and the SF Chronicle must be, IMO, defacating bricks, at the present moment about the recall, IMO.
LOL.

Recall: Poll Reveals Stunning Results
Why is the Field poll silent?
More of the same
So you are comparing Davis to Arnold?
Please Doughty, moral relativism ain't gonna work. Davis is the one in the hot seat, and from looking at the results of his being in the hot seat for the last 4.5 years he has failed.
Are you Doughty, suggesting to people on FR, to keep Davis?
Asked how his fellow Democrats could best defeat the recall and block Schwarzenegger from the statehouse, Brown offered just three words. "They should pray," he said.

I somewhat agreed with your comments. Although there have been a couple of polls released, there has been nothing near the type of polling one would expect if this were going in the Democrat's favor. You seemed to attribute this to the media in the comments in red above.
If you'll note, I was also attributing a problem to the press here.
Davis has been governor for 4.5 years, but hasn't laid out a winning fiscal plan yet. Schwarzenegger announced six days ago and the press is already damning him for no specifics. Specifics? Davis hasn't lofted one specific in 4.5 years.

This is a clear double standard. Schwarzenegger is being demanded to provide exact policy fixes, that Davis hasn't never been asked to provide in 4.5 years in office, and during one campaign for re-election. Why should Arnold have to provide a plan that Davis hasn't provided at all even after all this time?
So you are comparing Davis to Arnold?
This wasn't a comparison of Davis to Schwarzenegger. It was a comparison of how the press has dealt with Davis vs Schwarzenegger, clearly a double standard.
Please Doughty, moral relativism ain't gonna work. Davis is the one in the hot seat, and from looking at the results of his being in the hot seat for the last 4.5 years he has failed.
Moral relativism? Dane, get a grip.
Are you Doughty, suggesting to people on FR, to keep Davis?
Oh I think you're capable of understanding where I'm coming from.

Lay out your money on Seabiscuit to Place and Show.
My apologies....I meant McGreevey to eventually grovel.
A guy can have a dream...can't he?
More like buying stock options. If the given outcome happens (for example, if a particular candidate wins) the payout is 100. The column 'last' is the price of a contract on that outcome. So if you wanted to take a flyer on Arnold, you'd buy a contract at the current price of 55, and if he won, you'd be paid 100 for a profit of 45. People think Arnold winning is far more likely than any other outcome, so the price of that outcome is considerably higher.
