Abbas: Gaza pullout due to "Palestinian Sacrifices."

<p>SACRAMENTO - Not since Gov. Jerry Brown was linked to pop diva Linda Ronstadt more than two decades ago has Sacramento generated so much buzz.</p> <p>Now that it looks as if the recall of Gov. Gray Davis will be on the ballot, California's anything-may-happen atmosphere has everyone from Beltway political junkies to People magazine fixated on the notion that Arnold Schwarzenegger could become the state's next governor. But that's just one of many possible recall scenarios making the rounds.</p>

<p>Virtually every California governor has faced the verbal threat of a recall, uttered in anger by someone who didn't like something that the incumbent did, or did not do. And that's about as far as it's gone.</p> <p>Is the newly minted recall drive against Gray Davis to be taken any more seriously? Maybe. Those pushing the Davis recall have more political heft, and the media are treating it more credibly.</p>
