This delay will insure the Davis recall, and the defeat of Bustamante.

The Democrats and the 9th Circuit have overplayed their hand.

I hope you're right. Let's hope the overwhelming majority will be pi$$ed. Clinton did this. That's what he's there for.

Not so fast there, buckaroo... The delay moves the election to March... the same date as the Democratic Primary in California. With no Republican running against Bush, and a wide-open Democrat field, the Democrat turn-out vis-a-vis the Republicans will be huge!!!!

Another thing to keep in mind... campaign finance rules prohibit donations to any of the people running for Governor to $21,200/person. On the other hand, there are absolutely NO spending restrictions on Gray Davis and his "NO ON RECALL" campaign. With another 6 months to pander to the unions, indian casinos, public employee coalitions and reap the rewards with many $1M donations, Davis will be able to dominate the airways with his campaign - while the challengers must now make their paltry campaign funds stretch another 6 months.
