Which office did he run for last year and lose??? Help refresh my memory.

Following your logic, since Davis won in the same election, he can't lose the recall, and will remain governor.

You have a strange perception of logic.

Let me help you out.

Davis ran in 2002 - Davis campaigned against Riordan during the GOP Primaries portraying Riordan as a "RINO" - Davis knew he couldn't beat Riordan, but he knew that he could beat a "true non RINO" like Simon. - Davis won in 2002. - McClintock lost his bid for state controller a much lower and less important office.

The recall is percieved as a Republican forced initiative. If it fails, then Republicans will be blamed for wasting tax-payer money during a budget crisis only to switchout one Democrat with another or only to maintain the Democrat that currently in office.

Taking the governors office now will place the DNC on the defensive to insure that they can mantain control of California's electoral votes in 2004. Costing them 10's of millions of dollars that could be spent campaigning in other states, just to hold on to California's electoral votes.

McClintock is an impractical pipe dream. Schwarzenegger is a practicality. Be practical.
