Where indeed? Maybe they are all at the Maria Shriver coming-out party in OC?? ;-)
I like the following quote from the article:
Like robots programmed by the Los Angeles Times, state Republican leaders said repeatedly that a real Republican "can't win." They parroted this yearly liberal prophecy, treated it as fact, then made it fact by torpedoing McClintock so that he couldn't win.
;-)
"If Republicans fail to defeat Gov. Gray Davis, "They will be done in California for a decade," said former GOP national pollster Frank Luntz, cementing for Democrats the nation's biggest cache of electoral college votes for future presidential elections. "You would not just lose activists, you would lose donors, you would lose any interest in politics, if the recall fails," Luntz said.
But if Schwarzenegger wins, he said, "California is back in play for 2004."
Schwarzenegger's star power would be a huge asset for the GOP, party activists say, pointing to Rep. Sonny Bono, who when he was alive, proved one of the GOP's biggest fund-raisers, because people loved seeing a celebrity.
