Davis in his concession speech showed class, congratulating Schwarzenegger and promising to cooperate with him during the transition. Gotta give the devil his due. Davis is a master of the old "smile in their face while stabbing them in the back" technique.

Several of the Democrats I spoke to were in strong denial about the message sent by the voters What is it going to take to make these folks come back to reality?
I could not believe what Terry McAwful was saying last night, either.

[Democrats] see this is an isolated event, a venting, that will quickly pass while they fight to maintain everything they have done the past five years. My gut tells me they are wrong, that there is something deeper here, a desire for fundamental change in the way the state does business and in the way politics works, or doesnt work, in California.
It's bigger than that. While the Democrats have failed spectacularly in California, aftershocks of the Recall earthquake will shudder through electorates nationwide for years. There is a strong anti-incumbent and anti-elitist element to this Recall that Republicans would be foolhardy to ignore. There is a pervasive unaccountability in politicians of both parties that is increasingly difficult to conceal.

The Dems are in denial and continue to underestimate their GOP rivals. They do this at their own peril.

Democrats see recall as "isolated event" Just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "isolated events."

The way I read it is that the New Leftists, hippies, and other assorted whackos of the 1960s are now in charge of all of the levers of power in the liberal establishment. These people are very good at protesting, seizing control, and arguing until everyone else gets tired and goes home, leaving them in command of the situation.
But they are very poor at governing. They are impatient, full of grievances, dictatorial, and unwilling to compromise. And they are extremely reluctant to relinquish power in the normal way. They stay in power by bringing in supporters exactly like themselves and expelling anyone who breaks ranks or thinks differently.
As a result, they usually can only be expelled from power after they have wrecked whatever organization they have taken charge of. Even then they have to be dragged from the wreckage kicking and screaming.
Believe me, I have lived with these sorts of people for the past forty years. I have watched them grow old and sour and set in their ways. Their fingers must be pried from the levers of power, because they will never relinquish them willingly, no matter how big a mess they have made.
