Rove's.
McClintock has promised a free house to every Californian. "If it is within the authority of the governor."

That is the exact range Willie Brown predicted coincidentally. I suspect if anything that range is a bit low, unless the guy real bombs in a debate lots of folks are watching. My guess, wild though it is, is that Bustamante will get 37%.
That's not a good sign
The Field Poll frequently oversamples the left end of the spectrum, and their MOE is 4.5 points. That's a pretty wide MOE with over 100 candidates.
I think Bustamante will pull in 32-35%.

Oh my gosh, I may have to rethink my response if Willie agrees. Actually, say what you want about Willie (and believe me I have), the guy has his nose to the ground regarding California politics better than just about anyone. If he says 32-35%, it's rather complimentary to my position.
As for your guess of 37%, it would be absurd for me to criticize that. My thinking on the numbers relates to the impact a guy like Schwarzenegger will have on Bustamante's vote. I see at least a 5% swing from Bustamante towards Schwarzenegger. I know one hard core liberal who never votes republican, who is going to vote for Schwarzenegger comfortably. IMO, this will limit Bustamante's upside to the 32-35% range. I don't think it's out of the question that Bustamante will get 37%.
If something happens to Schwarzenegger, I'll be surprised if Bustamante doesn't get 40-45%, possibly in excess of that. I don't know a single liberal that will vote for McClintock. I can't imagine one doing so. No Schwarzenegger and there's only one place to call home for them.
