Not really. Nor do we think Republicans Tom McClintock and Peter Ueberroth should get out of the race. At least not yet.
Well, maybe Mr. Ueberroth should. His blandness and lack of energy will not do.
The Democrats already have their Gray candidate. What's more, Mr. Ueberroth doesn't seem to be much more specific than Arnold Schwarzenegger, the frontrunner among Republicans currently in the race. But, then again, Mr. Ueberroth's nonpartisan pitch overrides his token Republicanism. For example, he's the only Republican in the race to oppose Proposition 187, the 1994 initiative barring state benefits to illegal aliens. Does this country-club Republican think he'll get Latino voters away from Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante? Indeed, in this crazy election, Mr. Ueberroth could end up with more Democrats and independent voters than Republicans.

"It DOESN'T matter who replaces Gray because ANYONE is better Davis. ANYONE. This is all about getting rid of him. PERIOD. Even the Green Party guy would make a better governor, or Larry Flint for that matter!! We'll be happy JUST as long as the majority of vote to remove Davis!! Trust us, this is a win-win sitution no matter WHO runs!!"
"PRAGMATIC" REPUBLICANS AFTER THEY GET RECALL ON THE BALLOT:
"A vote for anyone BUT Arnold is a vote for Bustamente. If you pick someone besides OUR guy, you are a DU disruptor working to elect a candidate WORSE than Davis. We CANNOT allow Bustatemente to win, because he's for ARZLAN!!! You HAVE to vote for ONE guy and that's Arnold. IGNORE the other 193 candidates, it's either Arnold or Bustamente!!! Gee, so consistant, aren't they? The WHOLE reason they sold recall as a brillant plan was: A) ANYONE is better than Davis
B) Californias are sick of Davis' failed policies, and will therefore NOT replace him with someone who belives in the same issues.
Now that they got their recall, they have completely moved 180o degrees from their original selling points. We're supposed to forget the whole reason they INSISTED on recall in the FIRST place. Tell me again, why is it "pragmatic" to spending $70 million to "replace" Davis with a guy who will continue the SAME pro-abortion, gun-grabbing, gay-marriage, high-taxes agenda?
