Should the Democrats have a replacement candidate on the recall?

[Fred]

``Voters are going to be shocked when they flip the card over and they see no viable Democrat on the ballot,'' said Florez, D-Fresno.

"`Voters are going to be shocked when they flip the card over and they see no viable Democrat on the ballot,' said Florez, D-Fresno."

Why? There hasn't been a "viable Democrat" since Harry Truman.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Interesting question.... Do the Dems stand by Davis, and almost certainly lose? Or do they offer up another candidate hoping a different face will calm the natives?

High Times Selection of Viable Democrats



LINDA SANCHEZ?
LORRETA SANCHEZ?
HENRY WAXMAN?
TOM LANTOS?
MAXINE WATERS?

hmmm, which one can put it over the top...

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Say Yes!!!!

I don't know, I kind of enjoy them stumbling around like they are, I don't want them to think they have a groundswell.

Oh, absolutely. After all, didn't we establish in New Jersey that the most important, overriding criteria for an election is having a choice between two major party candidates, even if one of them is dead?

[Mike Darancette]

The last poll I saw on the recall was 51% dump vs. 43 keep.

Of the two groups which one is most likely to go to the polls and do something? With a 67% unfavorable rating the 43% keep number has about half of the number that dislike Davis but hate the recall process more.

I also think that many of the keep voters will foul their ballots by picking a replacement.

[GrandmaPatriot]

No, no. New Jersey's candidate only looked dead. Hawaii actually had a dead dem on the ballot and she won.

[Fred]

Another viable Democrat - Dick Riordan...

[kellynla]

Why would I care about Huffington? either one of them? I have a candidate and he is TOM MCCLINTOCK! http://www.tommcclintock.com

I also think that many of the keep voters will foul their ballots by picking a replacement.

That is ok according to the California law.

Increases the vote to dump Davis!
