16. The " Big Dog" drops yet another one.
What other election result COULD there have been. A governor who BEGINS the race with approval in the 20s has to do better then to try and demonize one of the best liked men in the world. That never happened though, all they could do was try and change the subject from Davis. That's the strategy of a loser, as we now finally see.

We are told Clinton advised Davis to make this an attack campaign, and the only thing I recall hearing Davis say from there on was references to right wing comspiracies to steal the election. Is there nobody in the party leadership who actually listens to the PEOPLE ?

With three quarters of the electorate turned off by Davis, either a clear reason to vote FOR Davis was needed, or a palatable alternative to Davis should have been offered. Good candidates were available but as the party refused to even consider the possibility it became poliitcal suicide for them to come forward.

California was lost through arrogance and stupidity. It was a self inflicted wound. And the same people are positioning the party for the 04 presidential election.
