Schiff's comments were made on the TV news broadcast, but are included in the article linked above.

"I think what we saw today in California was really an anti-incumbent sentiment strongly expressed," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

CONCLUSIONS CAN BE DRAWN FROM THE CALIFORNIA RECALL ELECTION:

1) The Democrat Party has been steadily imploding. The withering on the vine of the Democrat Party can be traced to the Congressional elections of 1994 - no wonder that hated Newt Gingrich.

2) Republicans got about 3 out of every 5 votes in a very liberal California and the tax and spend Democrat Davis was booted from office by a massive turnout of voters.

3) Take a look at the Democrat Presidential candidates, could there be a weaker field? I don't think so.

4) HOPEFULLY the GOP Senate will see this obvious trend and get tough on the foolish Democrats and their silly obstructionist tactics. Republicans should now be bolstered and they should govern like conservative Republicans.

5) President Bush is doing a fine job, he'll handily win re-election, he can be comfortable in pushing his conservative programs and he should definately fight hard to put conservative judges on the Supreme Court to fill any upcoming vacancies.

Oh, this is definitely the talking point. Every lib I saw interviewed yesterday was spewing it.

They're all very worried for George W. Bush, dontcha know.

Brilliant.

Something like 63% of the vote in CA breaks Republican -- and that's bad for Bush.

Only a Democrat.

Its a pleasure to see liberals fall apart. These people still haven't the slightest idea of why they lost. They think they had the wrong messenger. ROFL. As if Gray Davis' personality explains everything. As long as they remain in denial about the real source of their failure to win over the voters, the Democrats will keep on losing. Rush will tell them all about it in the California post-mortem on his show today.

"The people hate Bush so much they threw a Democrat out of office. Yeah, that's the ticket!"

I don't agree with this remark but it remains to be seen if recall was a good idea in the long run. It may turn out that having Grayout in would help Bush and the Republicans if Arnold isn't able to fix things.

In reality, though, I think some of the anger against Davis was also anti-Bush because of the economy. California's economy is doing worse than the nation's and I can't help but wonder if the people of the state would have tolerated him had things not been so bad on that account. Sort of like they did with Billygoat Clinton.

If Arnold can get things going and Bush fires Scott McClelland and gets out the word that the economy has recovered, both will do well. If not...
