This sounds like a made for t.v. event that will be carried by NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN. Martin Sheen will be the M.C.

They can't 'fix' the voting machines until they decide on a candidate.

I'm sure that Torres wants us to pay for the convention costs and transportation costs.
When I see an announcement like this, for some reason I remember that old ad about the Roach Motel, where they check in but don't ____________.

The typical purpose of a convention is to learn and to unite. Problem here is there is nothing to learn and uniting behind the Cruz/Davis/Titanic is just not inspiring...

Ah yes. Let's hope that they hold a very expensive convention. Very expensive indeed. All the less money available to spend in other races in '04 ...

I loved Rush's comment yesterday on the No on Recall Yes on Cruz. It is baffling how low the Demoncats will go.

LA is the perfect ruined and declining city to symbolize the impact that Democratic Party policies have had on America.

California Dems: "We don't have time to prepare the polling places for Oct 7, but we have time to put together a state-wide convention before then."

Maybe I am the only one here who does, but I think the dems have an idea here that we could benefit from. Now hear me out before you slam me:
With one Dem on the ballot, they will be unified. We will be splintered and the vote spread. Since we are the minority party, that works against us.
So imagine that come September, the Republicans have a convention (Fox will cover it, if no one else does). As a result of the convention we get speeches from Uberoth, Simon, McClintock, Cox, Arnold, and others, hell bring in the top gun, George.
At the end of the convention, Arnold is declared the candidate and the dream team is announced:
Arnold: "I am THE Republican choice for Governor"
Peter U: "Saving California is a big job and will require a top team. I want to be part of that team, As Arnolds, Chief of Staff"
McClintock: "As Arnold's Chief advisor on political affairs, I am proud to be a member of this team"
The Slogan:
"It takes the RIGHT TEAM to Save California"
Cue Music.

I'm looking forward to seeing a debate that has both Davis and Bustamante in it. I wonder how Bustamante will handle supporting NO on recall and still debate against Davis.

Since nobody was killed in an airplane crash, I guess this rally will have to do.

Maybe the "Mecha" group is a big dividing issue.
