I don't think the people of CA want this to drag out for that long, they'll want to lynch the 9th Circuit. Then again, perhaps that's not such a bad idea. ;-)

Oh they'll almost certainly delay the election.

The 9th will say something along the lines of "We need to give minorities more time to get in touch with their polling stations" or something along those lines.

Of course the real reason will be to give Davis and BustaMEcha lots of time to nuke Arnold's campaign with ads and rumormongering.

Anyway if SCOTUS let's the 9th get away with this (Not likely because of the heat they took in 2000 over Bush v Gore), then the Arnold backers will have a collective aneurism.
