I think she's having a voting problem.

Thanks. I'm pretty confident the Gray Davis Era is over. The only question is the size of the winner's vote margin over his rivals on Q2.

[My2Cents]

Well, if it turns out to be No-57%, every pollster, and every political analyst and pundit should find other work.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Freepers to admit they were wrong and apologize for all of the vile attacks they've made on their fellow Freepers who have disagreed.

It takes a man/woman of principle to admit they were wrong...ooops...I won't hold my breath either.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Your explanation is very well stated. There are two questions, not one, on the ballot regarding the Governor.

What amazes me is that here in liberal CA with all of the rabid hatred of the Left for Ronald Reagan, they could not get enough signatures to recall him. That tells you that there is tremendous disgust for Davis from the Left. I don't think people outside of the state realize the import of that.

[honeygrl]

well, they should begin to trickled in around 8pm PST i think.

[PRND21]

Cruz voted for Arnold!

So should everyone else.

[Sabertooth]

Dittos that, Tooth. Davis is Job-1.

That's the beauty. He's gonna swing.

It's good to topple the powerful.
It has a salutory effect on incumbents everywhere.

[ambrose]

Interestingly enough, most pollsters have stated that a bigger turnout is *better* for Arnold/the recall.

And the futures markets investors will lose the shirt off their backs.

What is the DU and does anyone have a link to it???

[William McKinley]

Yes, I read the report. The support for the recall went from 61 to 57. A four point drop. Of course, that means that the other side would go up four points. Which it did, and they reported as an 8 point swing. All well and true, and all within the margin of error, all well within the range of what could be statistical noise.

As a matter of fact, the last seven polls SurveyUSA did had values of 62, 58, 57, 61, 62, 61, 57. If the true support was holding steady at, say, 60%, and you took seven samples with a MoE of +/-3, you would expect to get fluctuations like this. In other words, could there be a trend there? Yes, but there is no reason to assume there is. The polling data just doesn't tell us that information.

Are we going to start a flame war? What will this accomplish? NOTHING! The ballots are already being cast!

Now go sit in the corner with Veronica until you can behave with the rest of the class.

[B Knotts]

It is a fetid cesspool. No reason to link to it.

[stephydan]

THANKS!!!!

[William McKinley]

He forgot the . before com. try now.

[goldstategop]

Feh. Its still worth a barrel of laughs.

[pgyanke]

BTW, I-Boy, God certainly didn't tell me to vote in a way that violated my conscience. Period.

I'll vote my way and you vote your way. That's America.
