The operative words in the Calif AFL-CIO endorsement of Bustamante 'to hedge their bets by endorsing Bustamante as the best backup candidate'.

A couple of things are happening all at once in this three ring circus special recall election that I am observing.

¥ Arnold has been the darling of the media but a large number of his followers will not even bother to vote. I am waiting for him to say something of substance and explode because I am of the opinion the he is his worst enemy. Heck, he declines to take a position on prop 54!

¥McClintok is gaining favor with the hard line conservative vote as they watch Arnold move toward the center.

¥Ueberroth has also garnered some favor, especially with his 'caretaker' position and his promise to not seek reelection.

¥Bustamante is right where he needs to be. Latino vote is excited!

¥Gray Davis is playing his game just right. (I think I'm the only person in the state that doesn't hate Davis)

¥Polls show the recall effort is faltering. (at least the trend indicates the gap is closing)

Predictions are difficult for me to make as the game is so fluid at the moment but here is my best effort: Gray Davis will lose the recall election by a whopping one percent. Arnold will say some bonehead thing and will split the conservative vote with McClintock. Bustamante will take the recall election with 52% of the vote. Gary Coleman will get more votes then Arianna Huffington but not as many as that stripper lady. S. Issa will get more votes than Dan Feinstein. Kennedy will get one vote (Maria Shriver's vote) and BrotherBuzz will learn how to incorporate Speilckeck into DU.

Le Taz Hot! Hot! Hot Hot! I don't have the where-with-all to attempt what you are doing but I did get a stack of voter registration cards from my library and am talking with my neighbors...The young latino people in my community are excited about this election.

Every Vote Counts!
