Commentary:

I watched Davis give his concession speech. There were 18 people around him. With Davis were his wife, his two sisters, and his brother. Of the remaining 13, nine were members of various minorities. That's nearly three-quarters of those in the picture. It was representative of the campaigns Davis and Bustamante ran.

Would it be too bold to say the Democrats have abandoned the majority of Californians?

I've nothing against minorities, but when their inclusion means the exclusion of the majority, there can only be one outcome.

It seems the message the Democrats deliver is "There are people with lots of money, and if you vote for me, I'll give you some of it".

I hope Democrats and progressives throughout the country watched our California Recall results. I hope it helps direct the party to a position that is beneficial to all, and not one group at the expense of another.

It seems the message the Democrats deliver is "There are people with lots of money, and if you vote for me, I'll give you some of it".

I'd phrase it "If you vote for me, I'll rob them at gunpoint and give you some of the loot" but I agree with the meaning of what you said.

The other thing is now that Ahnold is gov. let's look for conservative things getting done, like cutting the bloated state budget, ending the pandering to illegal immigrants, rolling back anti-business and anti-freedom legislation. My prediction is that they won't get done, and it will be tax and spend as usual, but I hope I'm wrong on this.

Not too bold at all. In fact, quite accurate. In my opinion, the Dems have done so nationwide, not just here in California.
