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?


Do a little Cut & Paste with the above statement - and

Email the Commissioner = Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi

In several ways, John and Patti Garamendi have been the typical "liberal / progressive" Democrats. If any prominent Democrat was going to renounce and abandon many of the so-called 'liberal' policies of the Democratic Party, I would like to see John Garamendi be the first. I would like him to understand the issues, and what is at stake. Have John take the risk to help change the Democratic Party, and to be a Leader for the people of California!
John Garamendi = Family Man, Businessman and Rancher, and elected to State government.
John and Patti Garamendi have been married for 38years (1965).   They have six children and six grandchildren

John Garamendi - Bachelors Degree in Business from UC Berkeley, and he holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
John Garamendi was an Eagle Scout! He was an outstanding scholar-athlete in college football, and the 1964 West Coast heavyweight wrestling champion.

Experience in the CA Assembly and State Senate; and was elected again to the office of Insurance Commissioner. He also served as Deputy Secretary, U.S. Department of Interior. John and Patti served two years in the Peace Corps.
