Bikers: Arnold has established himself as someone who does have frequent sex, has used drugs, and so on and on. Unless we see him do something so beyond the pale as to absolutely nauseate Californians, I think he's done an impressive job innoculating himself against scandal.

Californians are pretty hard to nauseat. We've seen it all around here.

Smoker, the problem with that scenerio is that the recall would most likely fail. I think most Democrats would rather see Davis than McClintock, and they would vote accordingly.

I disagree, McClintock nearly beat a Democrat statewide during the last election -- losing by only 17,000 votes despite being outspent 5 to 1. And according to the most recent LA Times poll McClintock pulled in more Independents than Bustamante and had twice the support of Arnold (28% vs. 14%)among Indies. I don't think either candidate should pull out. That's what elections are for -- let the voters decide.
