I've read you say that many many times. I can understand why you say that.

But that's not the way to change things.

I'm sorry, but with all due respect to your argument (and not a personal attack on you) I had to listen to people say things just like what you said all during the recall election.

First it was that we could never even get 100,000 signatures let alone 1,000,000.

Then when we made that threshold it was that we could never qualify the recall. We did.

Then it was that we could never qualify in time for an October special election. We did.

Then it was that our lawsuit against the Secretary of State was frivolous, a cheap publicity stunt that would never win. We won the lawsuit - the recall election was certified in time for October.

Then we were told that Davis would beat the recall and the recall would lose. We won.

Then we were told a Repub could never win. A Republican did.

Then we were told that if McClintock didn't drop out, Bustamante would surely win. McClintock didn't drop out and Arnold + McClintock accounted for almost 65% of the vote in a heavy turnout.

I'm a bit sick and tired of people telling me that the odds are too great for what is right to politically prevail.

Such an argument has been proved wrong repeateldy. We are determined to do it again!

Well Kaloogian is certainly the best candidate of the four.

PS: How is the Save Prop 187 initiative going? Do the organizer's think they can make the April Deadline?

Thanks.

If Arnold is backing Jones, which he is, guess who will be running against Boxer.

Plus, Jones has been Secratary of State for 6 years and authored the 3-Strikes law. The only people who have ever heard of Kaloogian are KSFO listeners and a few folks here.

Are we gonna' get a repeat of the Campbell-Boxer race? Tom lost 48% - 43%, because "the perfect is the enemy of the good", and certain folks stayed home. Come on, tell me how we're better off with Boxer.
