Bustamante can count on at least 30% to 35% of the vote because of the "D" next to his name. Hell, the Democrats could have run Charles Manson, and he'd get that many votes.

Bustamante is the only Democrat on the ballot and the Dems are famous for voting party line. They will all hold their noses and vote Bustamante.

Normally I'd agree with you, but that doesn't explain why Democrats supported the recall in the first place. They "held their nose" and voted for Davis, then supported his recall. Will they really do it all over again with Bustamante, or might they, just this once, go against the trend?

It would depend on his views on certain programs...:)

Personally, I think he would receive the votes BECAUSE he is Charlie Manson. Name recognition and all, coupled with the (D) would gurantee a win out here in lala land. :(
