This is the most entertaining political story we have going on domestically right now.

I'm not sure what I'm hoping will happen. Just about every outcome is good.

If Davis miraculously survives, he's still a weak governor for the 2004 national elections.

If he's replaced by a Republican, the California GOP might be resurrected from the dead.

But if he's replaced by a Democrat, that person will also head to history's trashpile, because the problems of California can't be fixed by the Governor. Not without pain, anyway.

That is a great summary!

I would like to be able to copy that and blast every poster here that gets all concerned about what will happen if the Recall actually suceeds or if Davis resigns the day before he is yanked out and appoints Feinstein, etc!!

To me it sends a great message to all the Democrats that are so intend on building their full boat Socialist state that people might have a problem with doing that!

Oh, was down at the Pharmacy Drugstore and had to wait so I picked up the July issue of Esquire with Arnooold on the cover with the headline

Next Governor of California.
Really.

It is a two part interview, first is kind of goofy and typical of a star interview but the second is decent!

He sure as hell would be a lot better than Davis!

Yup, there's no up and out for Bray Davis.

If he's replaced by a Republican, the California GOP might be resurrected from the dead.

Really? D'ya think?

But if he's replaced by a Democrat, that person will also head to history's trashpile, because the problems of California can't be fixed by the Governor. Not without pain, anyway.

Correct, much to gain and little to lose. If we get a shrieking liberal, the state will get so wierd so fast that there will be a backlash in 2004 even without the budget mess. If it's a "moderate" he'll own that fiscal train wreck. Either way, all we have to do is weather this for a bit and things might actually get better.

OK, so I can dream... can't I?
