If Diane declines, as seems likely, will the Hispanic congresscritter run?...( the one who beat B-1 Bob..Laura Sanchez..)

Is Juan Corona on the ballot, or did he die in prison?

He'd be better than Davis or Riordan.

As a Reagan Democrat, my favorite candidate would be John Garamendi, - IF -he was willing to change his views, and Lead!

Others who may have some positives: (Comments from another thread)

Former Assemblyman Rod Wright - (Dem - Los Angeles) -

Rod "termed out" last year or the year before. For gun owners in this State, he's our favorite Democrat. More than once he was there keeping the gun grabbers from stealing our rights in the dead of night. (And I mean that literally. He stopped some late-night "proxy voting" shenanigans in the Assembly.)
Let me put it this way: He's the only liberal Democrat from South Central L.A. who could raise campaign funds in Simi Valley! - #13 - by Redcloak

Rod Wright - Isn't he the guy who was TRYING to stand up for father's rights in California (where fathers don't have many rights)? #11 - by janetgreen

AND then there is State Sen. Dean Florez, who is know as a 'maverick' - in being willing to stand up (at least to some extent) to Gray Davis & the Democratic leadership! He had said a couple of weeks ago, that if a prominent Democrat was not on the ballot as a replacement to Davis, - then he, Sen. Florez, would run.

Now it's time for the tables to be turned.

- I believe that a single democrat will win the recall election second question. -

* - A Democrat runs, - a Democrat wins! - *

Prominent Democrats - Gray Davis does NOT deserve your allegiance.

Democrat Voters - Gray Davis does NOT deserve your vote!

---

If a Democrat wants to be Governor just to continue the typical policies of Gray Davis, they are wasting their time and their effort.

This is an important time to "put Principle before Party".

Where are the prominent Democrat Leaders who can admit to the problems within the Democrat Party, and speak out against the corruption of Gray Davis, - and then begin to lead the Democrats in a new direction?

Ya gotta love this insanity! I still think there's a chance Arnold will run, but if he doesn't and Riordan runs, fine. Also fine for all the rest to run..

As for Feinstein, though I'm a Republican I believe she would do a better job than Davis, and at least she has been outspoken about better border controls in the past. She's a tough taskmaster and though not my choice, I'd be happy if she jumped in and beat Davis. Of course the Dems don't want this to happen but it sure sounds like many are starting to sing a different tune, doesn't it.

What fun!

I think Arnold is at least 50/50 at running. Why would he schedule an Tonight Show appearance, now, just to endorse Riordan and bow out?

[lawdude]

If she (Feinstein) were to run, wouldn't the Governor have to appoint her senate replacement? What would be the progression of these events? How would timing come into play?

Sorry if this has been discussed but a (very) cursory look didn't reveal any clues.
