"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.

There is a great deal at stake. That is why the Dems are fighting tooth and nails and the Republicans need to decide whether they want a Republican or Democrat to win, with all the implications. (Hint for the McClintock Republicans)

The McClintock party is "hint" deaf. As I understand it they may not be "crowbar" deaf yet. ;-)

[My2Cents]

Oh, but didn't you hear? Arnold isn't a Republican. Sandra Duffy told me.

[jmstein7]

Big PING! This quote is right on! These McClintock voters need to look beyond their own noses at the bigger picture (and no, that was not a crack about McClintock's eyes).

I hope every Republican voting on Tuesday realizes this, and how debilitating a landslide victory would be to the Dems, not to mention how it would avert claims of voter fraud.

To a tune from the immortal Joni Mitchell:

And the smearings, they go round and round,
and the tainted pollings go up and down...
we're captives in the lurid recall slime...

We have a chance to put Davis back
behind from where he came
and to lose this final round
in the Recall game.

Do you really believe that the Republican party is in that much trouble if they don't win this recall? This recall wasn't even supposed to be happen No matter what happens, Davis is extremely unpopular, Bustamente is unpopular, and the majority of Californians are voting for nonDemocrats. Even if the recall failed, or Bustamente wins, it's hardly an endorsment of Democrats.

And don't forget, the recall never would have happened if it wasn't for the people being bashed here!

Hint for you:

"What?"

A caller to Michael Medved's radio show made a good point today:

Democrats (gray & cruz & company) are scared to death about what-all GOVERNOR ARNOLD'S "independent audit" will reveal.

They are probably enjoying this moment, hoping their man stops Arnold from getting the majority.

Why is it I feel that falls on deaf ears with the McClintock crowd ?? :O(

I ain't worried, he's gonna win without the help of the x-tremes, but golly, a mandate would be really nice! Put more fear into the demoncraps!
