LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --The tit-for-tat between Gov. Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger over whether they should debate before California's recall election continued Saturday -- this time with CNN's Larry King in the middle.

Both candidates for governor were invited to debate on "Larry King Live." Davis, a Democrat who formally challenged the Republican actor-turned-politician to a debate Friday, accepted. The Schwarzenegger campaign said no.

Saturday, Bustamante made the unusual move of praising one of the Republican contenders. Bustamante talked up McClintock, who has been taking votes from Schwarzenegger and could spoil the actor's chances if Davis were recalled -- thus allowing Bustamante a chance to win.

"The one who's really been moving in this race has been Tom McClintock," Bustamante said at a campaign stop in Los Angeles. "Tom has done a good job to get up there. ... Tom has a really strong message, and there's a group of people out there who strongly believe in his values."

things are too quiet around here right now... so have at it. LOL.

"Bustamante praises McClintock..."

Must've been the hardest thing Busty has ever done in his life.

Wonder who would have the "last laugh" if Arnold has a last minute Bob Mulholland-induced meltdown and McClintock goes on to win - in part because they had been going 'kid gloves' on him the entire time...

Transparent. Can't Tom see he's being used?

Bustamante's cynical motives are transparent and he is playing a very dangerous game.

It's arrogance, not ignorance.

why? he is the frontrunner. Davis is the one who is desperate or he would never ask to debate.

It would be stoooooooooooooooooopid for Arnold to debate Grayout. Grayout should be made to drown in his own venom. Grayout cannot win the recall when the only issue before the voters is whether they want to keep him in office. His only fighting chance is to switch the issue around to who might replace him. Then the sheeple may fall for the "go with the devil you know" argument...

The Schwarzenegger campaign has characterized the debate challenge as a sign of desperation on Davis' part. Davis and Schwarzenegger are not running against each other October 7. Voters will first be asked whether Davis should be recalled. They will then pick a replacement from a list of 135 candidates, including Schwarzenegger, who would take over if Davis were removed from office.

Bustamante praises McClintock

Of course he is. Mcclintock's doing everything possible to help get him elected.

So are you.

You are doing everything in your power to keep the Davis-Bustamante regime in office with your mean-spirited and venomous posts.

Judging from the comments here, it looks as though the McClintock supporters are aware of Bustamante's intentions.

Pointing out the FACT that mcclintock and his supporters are assisting the bustamante campaign is mean-spirited and venomous?

You really are delusional.

It was not mean-spirited; it was not venomous; it was a statement of fact. If you don't like that fact...tough.
