[history]
Los Angeles -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, in a split with California's Congressional delegation, said Thursday she is so outraged by the recall election that she'll refuse to vote for a replacement candidate despite the presence on the ballot of the state's No. 2 Democrat.

Feinstein may secretly favor Schwarzenegger- there was a lot of talk going on between her and Richard Riordan.

Can you imagine what would happen if Freepers all over the state, claiming to be Democrats, were to start writing letters to the editor agreeing with DiFi?

To: nickcarraway
For once, the senator is showing some sense. Now we need to convince other Demorats to follow her lead. ;)

I didn't, but I can imagine. Gray Davis was thinking. ``I am the 98 piund weakling.'' He'll have to stick with Cybil.
To: ElkGroveDan
BFD for Feinstein. A public display of the Dim hypocrisy. Since they can't admit they lied outright when they said they'd back Davis unconditionally and there would be no other Dim challenger, they play the 'we're against the recall but won't vote for anyone else' game and think we're buying it. Davis is toast, the Dims got the power call from Bela Pelosi, Bubba and the Black Queen for Plan B, and this is it. This is disgraceful, but not unexpected in the least.

Would Fartstein feel any different about him if Arnold had spent his career making chick flicks? Somehow I doubt it; she has always been a party hack.

McClintock Responds to Bustamante's "Tough on California" Plan
Senator Tom McClintock today issued the following response to Cruz Bustamante's "tough on California" statement.
"I was hoping for more of a message of hope and optimism from our Lt. Governor. What California received was more of the failed Gray Davis type leadership from the second most powerful person in the state. When the Lt. Governor says we have to 'sacrifice' he is not kidding. Unfortunately, it is the hard-working, taxpaying families of California that will suffer and not his special interest and public employee union friends.
"At a time when state government is taking a higher percentage of California's personal income than at any time in our history, Mr. Bustamante proposes a TEN BILLION dollar tax increase. This will mean that working families and small businesses will have to find another $1,150 somewhere in their budgets to continue the Sacramento spending spree.
"Much like Governor Davis, who called his illegal tripling of the car tax a 'cut' in state spending, Mr. Bustamante includes the transfer of some $2 BILLION of mandated socialized medicine costs to small businesses as a 'savings' for the state.
"As for my three simple questions that I asked of Cruz this week, it is obvious that he will not join with me in abolishing the car tax, since he is only willing to return about half of what Gray Davis illegally took from motorists. There was nothing tough on energyas he said nothing about the $42 billion of overpriced power contracts.
"Finally, there was certainly nothing tough on the applicant attorneys and special interests since he did not mention the third major crisis of the Davis administration. My plan to replace Californias broken Workers Comp system with the successful Arizona model would save state and local governments at least $2.5 billion annually.
"Its time Cruz Bustamante explains why we should vote no on the recall but support him for governor. He cant have it both ways. If he thinks Davis' dismal record is worth defending, he should make that case. If he really wants to replace him, how would he do things differently?"
VOTE4MCCLINTOCK or pay the con$equence$!
Only 46 days 'til we DUMP DAVIS!

Feinstein is probably secretly ticked off that she got head-faked so badly by Arnold's "likely not to run" story that caused her not to run herself. Now it's "woman getting even" time.

So Plan B is let a Republican take over the office and then blame them for all the bad stuff?
Figures!

She's obviously a racist. (That's what they'd be saying if she were an R).

Now THAT is an idea! Sow a little dissention to even the playing field. It could help make up for the Ahnuld vs. McClintock vs. Simon feud. And it wouldn't be just Freepers. I have Dimocrat friends & family in San Francisco who think Bustamonte is a back-stabbing traitor.

Feinstein's statement that she wouldn't vote in the Oct. 7 recall election for a replacement candidate was seen as a blow to the campaign of Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante.Mu ha ha haaa. Divided and conquored.

Remember, Davis attacked Feinstein viciously in a primary back when.

Remember, Davis attacked Feinstein viciously in a primary back when. Also remember that McAuliffe said no Demo should run, and that losing Davis is an insult to the Democratic Party. For that reason she would not run. There haven't been big guns rallying for "N-Word" like so many on here piddle their pants about, and I don't suspect they will.
Its a good day in the State of CA.
