You are completely off base in your attempt to continue the strange allegation that ANYONE on FR ever wanted a Bustamante victory. So stop being absurd and apologize to calcowgirl since you know nothing about the sad workings of the CA-GOP "leadership."
Before you come back and try to argue your mistaken idea, we can already see you have no concept of the totally wide open nature of a Recall election with no primary! So you've already pulled your own covers as to you being misinformed. Therefore... Give it up before you really hurt yourself further!!!
Candidates Vote Vote %
Republican Schwarzenegger 3,744,132 49%
Democrat Bustamante 2,434,484 32%
Republican McClintock 1,026,704 13%
These are the results. No apologies. Suppoting someone who only got 13% of the vote is a sure way to lose. Just like California Republicans do.
