Bustamante can count on at least 30% to 35% of the vote because of the "D" next to his name.

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?

The tripling of the damn CAR TAX!!!

Which McClintock jumped on before the recall ever materialized!!! There are road signs up all over the countryside around here that say "Help Tom McClintock STOP THE CAR TAX! They're on every commute route and even rural roads!!!
