Because Davis' ego is way too big. His ego was on full display this weekend in all the press about the recall (sour grapes, rich losers, hasn't lost a statewide race yet etc) and the other Dem Constitutionals would not stand for the annointing of Cruz and have to run against him as an incumbent in '06. I think if the recall qualifies, it doesn't go away, Cruz has to call the election regardless if Davis bails out.

Disagree...look..they'll do a poll after the petitions are certified....it'll show Davis going down big time..and that would force a Dem to put his name up..so Davis will be persuaded to bow out gracefully..and promised a sweetheart promotion to some high paying public sinecure if he resigns...and he avoids the ignominy of being recalled....and once he's NOT governor..it's moot..
