This can't be true. The recall is a straight up or down vote on Davis, no one is running against him.

Agreed, when you consider the letter of the law. But consider this, if two of more Republicans (RINOs included) are certified to be listed as candidates it would split the Republican vote. This is significant and here's why. Despite recent vows not to run on the Democratic ticket (Feinstein, et al), if polls show that Davis could be recalled, the Calif. Democratic Party WILL NOT allow a Republican to waltz in. Logic dictates that they will put up a viable candidate. They simply will not concede the govenorship that easily. As much as I like McClintock and "perhaps" Issa they don't have the name recognition of a Feinstein. Well, who does? I'll stop there.

BTW, I think one of our servers is locked up. . . hense, the double postings.

I won't vote for Issa, he's soft on terror. Won't vote for Arnold. Considering McClintock, don't know much about him, but have heard good things. I've heard Pete Wilson's name floated on this, as well as to run against Boxer. I'd vote for him.

If Davis gets recalled, a Feinstein win is just a door prize for the Dems, and they'd have to fight amongst themselves for her to claim it. Either way, recalling the third highest elected executive office in the land would have a salutory effect on politicians of both parties, who refuse to heed the will of the people they misrepresent.

An angry electorate is an awesome thing.

FYI, I just heard Bob Mulholland on the Hugh Hewitt Show this afternoon, dropping very heavy-handed hints about Schwarzeneggar. He basically said that the Dems aren't concerned about Arnold, because of the skeletons in his Hollywood closet.

He tossed off a rumor about Armold groping some female British journalist, and hinted that he had plenty of other material.
