34% sounds high for Bustamante. Non-whites candidates for California state office tend to get about 5% less at the ballot box than in the final pre-election polls.

The 65% predicted turnout (borne out by turnout so far) is bad news for Davis. That might be the same percentage as vote to recall him.

My personal prediction on the replacement vote is 40-45% for Schwarzenegger, 25% for Bustamante, 20% for McClintock and 10-15% for the other 140+ candidates combined. Unless the hackers really do crack the system and crank up the vote for Gary Coleman.
