This recall will be over (either way) as early as this fall and no later than the sprng. There is plenty of time to campaign a candidate against Boxer. BTW, don't hold your breath about someone beating Boxer; CA is too heavily liberal to elect a republican senator uless that individual is very noteworthy and charismatic.

To an extent, I agree. But even in this "liberal" state, Boxer...has always been vernarable. Just that, thanks to the "great" leadership here of the California Republican Party, we never had any great candidate to take her on.

And at the moment, there still no real viable candidate coming forward to take her on. Recall or no recall. There have been rumors, but nothing beyond that.

As for the recall, it will NOT make Davis stronger even if he somehow survives (which even his supporters [who are trying every dirty secret to thwart the recall effort] concede, is VERY likely to make it on the ballot AND a recent poll shows a MAJORITY WILL vote him out). The message would be clear, just because you barely succeeded in winning the re-election doesn't mean you can forget the voters of this state.

As for a Dem getting the job IF Davis is recalled, its a risk true. But IMO, it is ALSO very unlikely. For example, DiFi might find herself competing with other liberals which would split the liberal vote (also, from what I heard, most Californians [even those who like her] don't see her as Governor material. More of a Federal politician then a Local Polititian). This would give a somewhat high profile Republican (like Tom McClintock...if he runs...Arnold Swartzenager [though I prefer the first]...or maybe even Darrel Issa [but he is still unknown for the most the state though]) to win the governorship. Just as long as the Repubs don't have them ALL run (being the idiots the leaders are in this state, I'm almost certain they are not THIS stupid) only the liberals should be afraid of this recall.

I think Condi Rice would do just fine.
