""This is just explosive stuff," says Democratic pundit and polling expert Pat Caddell of numerous findings the Times didn't publish. "It tells me the Democrats don't understand what they are facing -- recall support is broad, and we may be heading toward a huge turnout."

The turnout will be huge for another reason. Each declared and running candidate will have their own GOTV effort--not just the GOP but the Greens, Libertarians etc. Each and every one of those voters will vote "yes" on the first question. Many Rats will too. Methinks Grayout is toast for this reason alone...

"Gilliard hesitated. Clearly, it hadn't crossed anyone's mind to have a Spanish speaker.


Or could it be that Republicans do not identify people by their race, and see the need to have a special spokesman for black, hispanics, gays, lesbians, transgendered, or blondes?

Kalifornians will jut replace one poltical whore with another. Their problems are far from over. For they are still Liberal Kalifornians at heart. (Present company excluded).

Let Kalifornia be an exmaple to Americas as to what would happen if the Socialist ever come to national power again.

Norm, Norm, Norm, nice piece????

Here's a person who sought to damn both parties instead of take the Democrats to task for running this state right into the ground. And what grounds did they use to slam Republicans, for not having a representative present who could give a presentation in a foreign language. J---- H. C-----, what nonsense.

Gray Davis, Bob Mulholland, and the Democrat controlled Legislature have take four years to put this state on the verge of insolvency. Thankfully the writer did have the smarts to mention that some of the Dems actually wanted to make the deficits even worse to manipulate the populace.

What bothers me, is that we are here by the devices of the Democrats, yet the media just can't quite grasp the fact that they deserve the blame, despite them being in control. What would it take for the media to simply state the facts? The Democrats have screwed this state right into the ground.

Nope, instead we get this mish mash of rotting banana peals and vegetables, that both parties are terrible. The idea is to create the attitude in the public of, "Aw who cares, they're both terrible."

Frankly it's this very type of reporting that got us into this mess. Instead of stating the facts about the budgets, deficits, hiring and Davis' and the Legislature's incompetence, we get this. Tidbits from blatherland...

Republicans don't have a separate Spanish-speaking representative because they understand this is still one country and the language of that country is still English. Democrats, of course, hate this idea.

If the Hispanics want to be fully involved in the political process then they can learn English...just like MY ancestors had to do when THEY arrived here.

Did anyone see Caddel on Matthews when this all began? He said Dems weren't taking this seriously enough and it would come back to haunt them. He said Davis was, I'm paraphrasing, a rotten governor, and the recall would happen.

They laughed at him - wonder if Matthews will have him return?

It is a very valid point that Republicans need to be more inclusive but it also needs to be said that Democrats tend to take groups for granted....Minorities are so important during a campaign because if energized and voter turnout is high in that group, the Democrats have an advantage....The only thing that I can say is that Democrats have good intentions going in...With Republicans, the only thing I can say is that I know where I stand...For some reason, that means more to me...

OK. Here is the staunch moderate about to get in big trouble....I agree that it shows great respect and consideration to have someone available to interview and provide information in Spanish. I was thinking back to my time overseas however and I seem to remember that the people who interviewed and were broadcasting in another language also have the option of doing the interview and then having a certified or professional translator available. I would not ever go up say "Where's the brother from the hood that's gonna tighten me up with the lowdown and the nasty 411?" I think that what also may be involved here is that Spanish Broadcast Stations do not want to deal with the delay if no Spanish Speaking official is available. It might not be a bad idea to have one of these translators that I have seen in the courtrooms and have them available as a contigency...

Be part of the solution...Not part of the problem.

Adios, amigos...
Auf Wiedersehen, meine freunde...
Later, my brother....
Ciao, ragazzi!!!

This tells you how the California GOP still thinks: It's still as white as snow, and as out of it as a comatose patient in intensive care.

This statement tells me more about how the writer thinks than how the California GOP thinks.

This is a pretty fair article for the Chronicle. I notice they have had some semi conservative authors in lately writing columns. In fact Lee Rogers interviewed one on KSFO the other day. I cannot remember his name but he has been hired to write a weekly column which will definately be from the right. The Chronicles token conservative, Debra Sanders, is all over the place and sometimes veers to the left.

CA: Why Davis is really in trouble

He's a corrupt, arrogant fool. That's not enough?

We ARE an English speaking nation, it's a tradition, it's useful to know, and there has never been a problem communicating in English in this country...until now! Why? Are there people not willing to conform? Just reape? An agenda to change our language? Or just lazy and not willing to work to learn the language of the land? Oh, sorry for my rant for now I see...It's because of how the GOP thinks! It's their fault! /sarcasm
