Fuuny how when Arnold wasn't running there was no problem, now he's being pushed as the only R who can win.

From what I've seen of his positions it would be a damn shallow victory.

Bustamante would be a total disaster. I'd vogte for him only if he were up against Flynt.

So Cruz wins. Then BK the state, stop the handouts - now the freeloaders will see just how compassionate their dems are - and then the next election we will vote in the primary a real conservative who will win. We may even clean up in the Cal senate & legislature. Let's just stick with true conservative candidates & one day we will prevail.

Bustamente is still a part of of the administration that sunk California into the ocean. I don't see where he did anything to help.

If anything, he and his organization, La Raza, probably helped tank California.

California wants change. They need to get rid of the entire adminstration; not just Davis.

They should wait until closer to Election Day to ask others to drop out. This is still a campaign against Gray Davis. Give him many targets to hit, not fewer.

1) 40% is not assured. It is likely only if the population voting in the recall is a representative sample of the state as a whole. Also, that population would have to vote in accordance with their previous voting patterns.

2) Turnout is a big Dem problem. Why should the NTA man phones for Gov. Gray?

3) Bustamante has an association problem he's already trying to kick. As Lt. Gov. he claims to have met with Govenuh Gray about 3 times in the last 4+ years.

The Dems are in a world of hurt in Ca. They've ruined the state and it's coming home to roost. Mulholland wasn't speaking figuratively when he spoke of using real bullets.

Good post, but I agree with GraniteStateConservative that the candidates need to wait until closer to the election (2 weeks?) to drop out and endorse the frontrunner to thwart Gray Davis and his typical smear-and-demonize-the-opponent strategy. I also don't think Bustamante will get 40 percent because Democrat voters are extremely disheartened, and the Democrat leadership is misreading the attitude of the voters big time. Still, we must pull together and do what it takes to win.

I am supporting McClintock at this point because I believe he will be a strong candidate if Davis is able to destroy Arnold, and I hope that strong support for him will help pull Arnold to the right. It was very encouraging today to hear Arnold speak up for Prop. 187.

It is imperative that a Bustamante victory be thwarted. The only way to do this is to rally behind one Republican candidate well before the October 7 election. The question then is: which candidate? Schwarzeneger would seem the obvious candidate for this,

Yup! Here we go again! Some Republican blunders to match those of Supreme court Fame.

One thing about Conservatives. They understand money, balanced budget and, tuning a profit. Now! If they could only walk like they talk on "Family Issues".

Backing Arnold will sure shed some light on the Republican party.

Folks you may as well vote Democrat because all their candidates will claim they have found the fiscal Covenent. And That Folks! Makes Arnold no different from them and a loser.

Don't waste your vote. Vote for a difference!

the whole thing is a waste of money
California is done for either way
let it crash ..then some real bargain hunters can come in and pick up the pieces
put troops in and deport all illegals and foreign criminals (including the KGB masquerading as refugee/immigrants)
