3. First they have to find out who he is
Edited on Mon Aug-11-03 09:01 PM by Democat
My informal unscientific early research says that most Hispanics, and other citizens of California, don't have any idea who Cruz Bustamante is or why they should vote for him.

They do, however, like other Califonians, know who Arnold is, and like his movies.

If the vote was held today, my guess is that Arnold would get more of the Hispanic vote than Cruz.

The important thing is that the vote is not being held today. Democrats have two months to educate voters, both Hispanic and everyone else, on who Bustamante is and what he can offer the state.

I still think that Cruz could win if everything went his way. Unfortunately, with the media promoting Around nonstop, and the Democratic Party in California seemingly caught off guard by this whole mess, it doesn't look too promising right now.

Cruz can win if he has a solid plan, if he doesn't sleep for the next two months, and if the Democratic Party is organized and smart at getting the vote out, but it won't be easy.
