While I appreciate the symbolic message you are attempting to send to the Democrats in the assembly and senate be very careful what you wish for.

Bustamanta and Riordan are the statistcal favorites to replace him. Take a minute to ponder these alternatives before you race off to sign the petition.

Bustamante's historic leanings and his unproven citizenship status frighten me.

Riordan is only a half step above Davis and he'd make a perfect fall guy to assure continued Democratic domination of California politics as the state continues to lurch through the economic chaos created by the legislature and abbeted by Davis in his lust for power.

Conservatives have a much better chance to regain legislative power if Davis is allowed to remain. As Davis struggles with the deficits he will continue to educate the public as to the root cause (Democratic legislators) of California's economic woes.

NO NO NO! Not true!!! Even Bart Simpson could replace Gray Davis and wouldn't we all agree!! It's erroneous, in that Riordan or Bustamanta are the only ones - McClintock and several fiscal-minded and integral people are other alternatives. Don't get ahead of ourselves by guessing who's the replacement. The first thing is to sign the petition to recall this a$$hole; even if we don't, it sends the MESSAGE that we're tired of this in California and if we are tired of it here, the poster child of liberalism, we would hope that it will send a message to ALL of the tax and spend libs across the nation. I am so active in this cause, if anyone's got a ping list, put me on it. When I called and emailed the activist group organizing the recall, they said - be looking at a supermarket near you in the coming weeks for petitioners everywhere to get this POS out. - SIGN!!!!

>>Bustamanta and Riordan are the statistcal favorites to replace him<<

We could live with Riordan. If we are smart enough as a state to dump Davis, we should be smart enough to replace him at the same time with a good alternative.

q: who do we have in the wings?

"While I appreciate the symbolic message you are attempting to send to the Democrats in the assembly and senate be very careful what you wish for. " I am not one of those who believes in "sending messages" - I want Davis GONE .

And as far as "carefull what you wish for", I would prefer to kill one rat and deal with whatever else crawls out, then stand around watching him crap on my floor.
