"Arnold will have more high profile endorsements than Gray Davis gets votes against the recall. "

But apparently McC and his Tomikaze supporters still don't get it.

Tomikaze -- I like it.

But, please, refer to Tom as McQuixote.

The use of metaphors from Don Quixote has been a tradition in California politics, dating at least to the Hiram Johnson campaign in 1910. Art Hoppe or Charles McCable (I forget which) used to make fun of Reagan in The San Francisco Chronicle as "Sir Ronald of Hollyrood" with Lyn Nofzinger in role of Sancho Panza as "Squire Lyn" -- back when you had to laugh at political humor, even from the other side, 'cause it was funny. MacBird was a great send up of Johnson, and Tom Lehrer had hilarious songs about both George Murphy and Hubert Humphrey.

All the supporters in the world, famous or not, do not mean the right man will win.
