Recall, Schwarzenegger ahead in new LA Times poll [Schwarzenegger 40, Bustamante 32]

SF Chronicle ^ | Sep 30, 2003

[george wythe]

Voters favored recalling Gov. Gray Davis by a large margin in a Los Angeles Times poll released Tuesday and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger was ahead of Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, a Democrat.

It was the second recent statewide survey to show Davis badly behind and Schwarzenegger in the lead. There is a week to go until the Oct. 7 election.

I was being sarcastic, but I guess I forgot the warning.

Tuesday evening is going to be a long night

Bull - this thing is gonna be over by noon. With pro-recall numbers nearing 65%, it won't take very many precints reporting before it quickly becomes apparent that Gray is gone and Arnie is the new governor.

What's cool is that since Arnie will technically be taking over the remainder of Davis' term, he will be sworn in and begin working immediately the next morning.

For some strage reason your post quoting the other post WAS pulled on THIS thread. I don't see anything wrong with it, I think it's a great post and the original thankfully is still there.

Guess someone "complained" ??????

[Rabid Dog]

You are thinking of the post when she told someone to shove it up their you-know-what when they asked what the difference would be between a liberal republic legislation and a conservative liberal legislation - something like that. It was kind of a non-linear response to a pertinent question.

[FairOpinion]

The truth hurts.

[Rabid Dog]

At least that's the post I remember - maybe there have been others.

[Tempest]

You're just upset because Tommy's momentum machine is starting to look like this thing.

[RGSpincich]

that's a political transvestite wearing that dress, and "her" name is Arnold.

I suggest you reach under there and find out about his political cajones. We know your boy turn tail and hid from the obvious when he was confronted with Stoos' extracirricular writing activities and content. Sold his own chief legislative analyst out. Said he was going to have a "talk" with him.

But we know why now. Huh? Stoos IS one of those "right wing crazies". The ones that have been trying to hijack the Republican Party for the last few years. McClintock didn't want his cover blown.

CRA campaigns against Republicans

A House Divided

Some Republican critics say it's the CRA and its fundamentalist cousins that are scaring voters away from the party. Bob Larkin points out that in California, for example, only 11 percent of new voters last year registered as Republican, compared to 26 percent Democrat and 50 percent independent. "They are converting us to a third party," he says.

GOP critics also take issue with the Republican Assemblies' practice of campaigning against Republicans who don't support a strict conservative platform. Utah's Ruzicka doesn't deny this: "We're not afraid to come out against a Republican who is a Republican in Democrat's clothing."

In New Jersey, for example, the Christian Coalition sent out more than 1 million fliers against the re-election of pro-choice Republican Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Larkin says. CRA president John Courtney then sent a memo to U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich citing Whitman's narrow victory as proof that moderate Republican candidates just don't win. "Where I come from," Larkin says, "we call that treason, and people who do that traitors." ___________________________________________________

Oh my. I bet they have Tom listed as their 2nd choice ;)

[birbear]

Polls indicate that had Arnold not entered, McClintock would have handily won over Cruz and California would have ended up with a conservative governor.

Polls also indicate that had Eve NOT eaten from the forbiden fruit man kind would not have suffered from the original sin.

ROFLOL! Great tagline! LOL!

[pollywog]

Love your tag line and agree COMPLETELY with your post.!! ARnold in fact has been the spoiler for what could have been the BEST. TOM could win over CRUZ any day. Now we will be faced with abortions, gay marriages, funding lunches for illegal kids, and a strong supporter against Prop54!!! WOW what " Conservative" Republican agenda!!!!

[Robert_Paulson2]

"The California GOP is now Arnold's party. "

---

the koolaid drinkers will go ape over this... or go into their own private version of the "Exodus"

hope they like the political wilderness... pass them the rotten mannah.

"electability is proof of ideological compromise" and they have a long list of failures to prove they are all "ideologically as pure as the driven snow"

[pollywog]

Now you can win and be screwed by Republicans!

YUP!!! your right!!.......going to be interesting when those tax hikes come!!!....from Arnold!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The LA Times sees the tidal wave coming and is now trying to wiggle out from under the slimey, dishonest, propaganda poll they published on the 12th!

I'm sure this strategy will rasie their credibility by a whopping 2%. LOL! The Left still doesn't fully realize what is going on here.

>>>I have not heard much in the news lately about Clinton's
influence on the recall election. I wonder why? <<<

Well, his 'Voter Fraud' tutorials haven't been xeroxed yet.

Davis won't be hintin'
that his big support from Clinton
is ille.e.e.egal...

Davis' voter stealin'
won't be easily revealin'
his compleeeeat bull...

Other Govs might bu-ckle....
Other Govs might sweat...
Davis will never knuckle...
He's still Bill Clinton's pet....

So...
Nothin' could be finer
than to see those two big whiners
both in mO.O.O.u.r.n.i.n.g

They're rather scarce thus far. :-)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Oh really? If Arnold hadn't entered the race, then chances are, Issa or Simon would still be in the race and ahead of McClintock. Many Californians had never heard of McC.

AND, if God Almighty had entered the race, he would probably be a 85% to 15% favorite. The fact is, that Arnold (the lesser conservative) will not bow out, and neither will McClintock, it seems. Thus we conservatives must align behind Arnold, who has the best chance of defeating Busto. I say this with deep regret as a McClintock supporter and contributor. The war is more significant than the battle at hand.
