LA Times Recall Poll Methodology (Important Information Regarding Today's Recall Poll)

Earlier this week, Field Research Corp. released a poll on the election to recall Gov. Gray Davis. Today, The Times Poll comes out with somewhat different results.

The two polls are more alike than different. Both found the same lineup among the top candidates to replace Gov. Gray Davis — Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante in the lead with support from 30% of likely voters surveyed, Arnold Schwarzenegger in second place with 25% and state Sen. Tom McClintock in third place.

Firstly, he's not "my guy". He's anything but my choice for governor.

Whatever, of course he's your guy, you claim there's only 2 choices on the ballot in the same post.

But he does stand the best chance of keeping bustamante from implementing his racist and socialist agenda.

Really, (R)nold has tip toed around AMNESTY as a final solution to the problem on Larry Elder's show,as well as said he will not support the referendum against SB60, just magically undo what the Legislature passed by law by decree (illegal). Don't give me this Busta boogie man concerning illegals, your guy isn't that dramatic of a contrast.

You may not like his social policies (I don't either) but he is a fiscal conservative.

LOL. Fiscal conservatives talk about CUTTING taxes specifically on X, cutting spending on Y, and removing regulation on Z. They always have, they always will, that is what the term means. Now when candidates say "I hate taxes, and will only raise them in an emergency," while purposefully refusing to take a simple no new tax pledge-- people who are not out there, have alarm bells going off. That is a Fiscal Moderate. Too bad you don't know what is coming. Better hope he loses, because I'll be there to remind you after he implodes.

A suggestion:

Focus your losing argument towards someone whom you might stand a chance of convincing.

I don't buy it.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

You? South40? You gotta be kidding me, I thought you didn't have "a guy". LOL.

I don't buy it.

Don't worry, you don't have to. If you get your way before next June's budget, you're going to be doing alot of buying, if you are still around here.

[South40]

You should stick to posting graphics, as your inability to compose a cogent argument only makes you look [more] foolish.

It's your call.

LA times wants Cruz to win, so they are Fooling Republicans to vote for McClintock so guy CRUZ WINS !!!

No, McClintock is honestly gaining on Schwarzenegger. He's looking less and less unelectable all the time. What could he do in another month -- especially if ALL conservatives got behind him?

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Now down to personal flaming. Typical, you're outta gas.

[South40]

It was not a personal flame. It was a fact.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

O lordy, it depends on what you definition of "was" was, huh? Yawn, you're done.

[South40]

Careful...I know where you live.

That was humor, pal. Look it up.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

That was humor, pal.

Again depends on your definition of was. This is boring, bye!

[South40]

Out of touch with reality and no sense of humor.

Yes...you do typify the average mcclinader supporter.

"bye"

If 2 republicans remain in this race....than either Davis will survive or CRUZ will be Cruzing in CA

..

[KQQL]

LOL

[KQQL]

.e. There is no "McClintock surge" -- the Times just interviewed more conservatives with the specific intent to give the impression of a McC surge, to keep the conservatives voting for him.

YEP>>> LA TIMES WANTS CRUZ OR DAVIS....and they know...............MCClintock is the ticket to their RAT dreams.

[KQQL]

GRACIAS MCLINTOCK.... Gracias McClintock Voters........

[KQQL]

McClintock is needs a real job,,he's been in govt since he was 26/////////////
