The "McClintock can't win" line was bogus from the start. The recent USA Today poll shows that McClintock would win easily in a race against Cruz Bustamante. What the Republicans were really saying was not that McClintock can't win but that he shouldn't win. "McClintock scares the hell out of the Republican establishment, because he represents fundamental change and they don't want that," said the GOP activist. "When Tom had a good chance of winning last year in the Controller's race, they didn't lift a finger to help him."

This is my favorite part of the article. Calls it so accurately.

Okay, I give. There were LOTS of good lines here :-)

If McClintock and Bustamante were the only ones in the recall race, Davis wouldn't get recalled.

That's why Davis got reelected in the first place -- people in CA took a look and were more scared of a conservative, than "the devil we know: Davis".

This would just be a repeat of the November election, except it would be a humiliating defeat for the Republicans, having gone to all the trouble to have the recall in the first place.

"Failure is not an option".
