California Recall Live Thread

[Sabertooth]

Do it California. Post here.

Exactly. I didn't even hear a "boo" and Arnold was saying, "no, no, a gracious call from Gray Davis".

[GulliverSwift]

Hmm. Sounds like disenfranchisement! I will be on the case immediately!

The twins on either side of the Schwarzeneggers are even acting the same, its creepy.

I looked at the site. It seems that the total votes recieved by the candidates is roughly equal to those cast for or against Prop 54 and like you said roughly 10% below the total yes, no on recall. If Cruz loses by less than 10% , it could be Bush/Gore redux because the dems will claim that ther folks were told they couldn't vote for a candidate if they voted no on recall and some judge somewhere will agree with them.

Good luck!:-}

That came out harsher than I meant. I do think she looks good.

Thanks A4E.

I think that's one of the things that scared me the most about the Davis supporters during that speech. But then again, using and abusing the voters is a Democrat tactic...

Speech over. Not too unique. Gracious and optimistic.

Man, she looks just like Bobby.

That was chilling. I remember what happened to Bobby, in a setting not unlike this...

The greatest state of the greatest country on earth.

Maybe people wanted to vote for George Schwartzmann and punched Arnold by mistake. Schwartzmann has a case here.

To those critics of Maria:

Well ya know what, she stood by her husband. She actively campaigned for him, and it wasn't a Carville-Matalin thing, I never heard her undercut him on a political matter. From everything I've seen, she is a good mother. And why do so many assume that the Kennedy-Shriver side will pull Arnold to the left, ever consider that maybe he is pulling them to the right?

I hope that right now we will all give Maria a clean slate, and see what happens. She can be a great asset to his term as governor, and I have a gut instinct that she may at some point become Republican. How many former liberals have slowly but surely come around to conservatism through the steady and long term influence of their family? A welcome from the GOP and a fair shake is far more likely to influence her towards conservatism than sniping and condescension.

Its a new day, let's see what we can do with it.

Matthews: "You know Arnold's a Republican because the falling balloons actually fell down correctly and the confetti too."
