One final thought: All this postpones yet again closure on getting Tom McClintock out of the race. It reinforces the volubility and unpredictability of this whole recall election. Anything can happen.

This sums up his whole article right here.

The Arnold smoke and mirrors campaign cannot sustain several more months of scrutiny. It will collapse.

It will also cost a pretty penny to keep the show going - I think he is budgeting a million a week and really can't afford to back off. If he loses any more momentum - he's doomed because it will be interpreted as a gain for Tom.

I agree with you but I honestly think the recall election will go through 10/7. The state constitution says within 80 days. No "ifs", "buts" or "ands" about it. The feds had no business sticking their noses in a state election. The 2000 election was different, it was a national election. And if the punch cards were fine in November why not now. I mean where was the ACLU in November 2002? And if the recall election has to be postponed because of the punch cards then why not a complete re-run of the entire November 2002 election? And why doesn't the court ruling void all the elections in CA for the past 34 years we've had punch card ballots?? hmmmmmm Well I am off to bed, early rise. Nytol
