Bustamante is going to have around 40%, much more than Arnold's 35% and McClintock's 10%.

It's too early to tell; and it's too bad if that happens. Another 10 or 15% to McClintock and California could have a true conservative for the first time in a long time.

Not likely IMHO. If the yes on recall wins, obviously the maximum no's are 49 %. Probably more like 40 % at best and 20 % at worse. Anyone who votes Yes on Recall will probably not vote for Bustamanti. Heck he is asking his own supporters to vote No on Recall and yes on him. There is no way that 100 % of the no on recall voters will vote for Bustamanti. Some wont vote and others may find someone on this loaded ballot to vote for. At best Bustamanti gets 30 %. Thats his maxima, unless of course the No on Recall wins and then of course its pointless. And then there is the Arnold factor. Arnolds maxima Is up around 40 %. He will be drawing some of those No on Recall voters. Expect a last minute major assault by the progressives on Arnold.

Do you work at the L.A. times?

I see the finals as being 40% Bust-a-Moon; 30% Ah-Nold; 25% McClintock; 5% "other."

I love your committment to conservative ideas!! And your defeatist attitude. That is probably why the CA GOP does so well.

I give Arnold 5 days in office before he raises taxes. Another 10 before his other liberal policies start rolling out.
