Does anyone remember how, before the election, the Democrats tried to belittle the recall by arguing that this recall was "undemocratic" because it was trying to "undo" the 2002 election" and/or the recall was "undemocratic" because it was trying to void the votes of all those who voted for Gray Davis in 2002?
Well, Arnold's vote total has now surpassed Davis' 2002 total. So much for "vast right wing conspiracies."

YES! Think I will send it to MSNBC since they keep saying Davis' totals beat out Arnold's! Thanks for giving the updated figures.

The one thing I do not get is the ten million voters. There must be a lot of asbette votes still out.

I'm convinced that pointing out that Davis actually got more votes than Arnold was the cornerstone argument of the Dems in their plans to recall the recall.
They were waiting to say, "The recall is a sham because Davis actually ganered more support than Arnold. 3.8 million voted to keep Davis in office, but only 3.4 million voted to put Arnold in. Davis actually beat Arnold by 400,000 votes, blah blah blah...."
The fact that Arnold got more votes in a crowded replacement field than Davis did on the binary recall question has really caught them off guard, IMO

What I find very encouraging is that Democrats of California could have easily voted for the recall and still had a Democrat in Bustamonte. The fact that they not only rejected Daivs, but also Busty, gives me a little hope.
Maybe....just maybe....the RATS cannot count California as a gimme anymore.

And in a three party race, if you add Mcclintock's total to Arnie's it demolishes Gray-out's total in 2002.

It's one thing to point out that Arnold got more votes than Davis did in 2002...But this e;lection had higher overall turnout.
They were totally counting on the number of "No Recall" votes being higher than the number of Arnold votes.
It looks like they'd even prepped the press to report on this, as some have erroneously done.

Well, Arnold's vote total has now surpassed Davis' 2002 total. So much for "vast right wing conspiracies." What a beautiful Wednesday for Schadenfreude. Have a nice Day Joe Davis.

Huh? What totals are they referring to?

Yes, the "vast right wing conspiracy" is so large now that it nearly includes all the number of people the Democrats define as "rich" nowadays.

The totals for Davis in 2002 were beaten by Arnold's totals yesterday. The RATs were saying that Davis was going to have more votes in 2002 then Arnold would get in 2003 and they and MSNBC are WRONG!
Arnold now has more votes in 2003 then Davis got when he was reelected in 2002. Larger turnout in 2003 as well!
