Who will Dems run if we have to recall Arnold

?

:shrug:

my guess.

we're GOING TO.
Day one if it happens.
On the principle that the loser got more votes than the winner.
Among other things.

waste of money. focus on future elections and let the republicans be embarrassed by arnold in the meantime.

The vote will come up 6-9 months after next week. Give California a chance to realize what a dumbass Arnold was, and then put Davis back in office.

I don't think Davis can run again. He has already been elected twice.

Remember, California term-limits are LIFETIME term limits...

If you want the Democrats in CA to look even worse go ahead with it.

Face facts, Davis and Bustamonte ran terrible campaigns. They deserve to lose.

What is being done now is the worst. You don't get to the high ground through the sewer.

is toasty and satisfying. Guess what. Partisan war has been declared over all our portestations. we're taking it to them.
NO PRISONERS.SCORCHED EARTH.

Report back about how pissed off we are because they have no idea what they have unleashed upon this state.

but fair is fair, and if he gets in through recall he can be recalled.
If the first recall isn't a sewer, than the second one isn't.

When fighting against the establishment of a one party state led by fascists, the high moral ground is of secondary importance.

Victory at any cost.

Yea we look bad I mean why not elect a serial
groper who has it out for native americans and
mexicans.

Sure dems look bad next to US English board member Arnold.

Arnolf is a discusting racist face it no ground can
be given to him for maners.

This first one was embarrasing enough. If a group of democrats start a recall for revenge it would make us look bad.

Let California suffer with their decision to elect Arnold. Which is what it looks like they will do.

i don't like warren beatty, i think he is an asshole and boring and makes no sense much of the time. robert redford is much better if we are going to have a "star" of our own.

I'd like to get her out of the Senate -- she's too damn conservative. But I think at the state level she would do alright. Are there any progressive celebrities we could get to run for office. Ed Asner would be good, Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner, Tom Cruise??

He may have made some unwanted passes in his time, but I don't think he ever actually grabbed women's body parts in front of his buddies for sport and laughs like Pig Arnold. He has more sex appeal and charisma in his little finger than the terminator.

Remember that great sixties wisdom -- Today's pig is tomorrow's bacon!

Heh-heh.

Has been the San Francisco Art Commissioner for years and he used to be president of the San Francisco NAACP he would be a great GOV! or mayor of SF wish he'd run

who ever wins on Tuesday! you will not be able to gather that many signatures. It has to do with the % of people who voted in the last election & last Nov was the lowest turn out in Calf history which is why after about 60 recall attempts in 100 years this one worked

you're going to need about 10 million signatures or more thats not going to happen... Plus 45% of the people who signed the recall were Democrats

.

The recall mechanism is based on 12% (a little less than an eighth) of the votes from the previous election.

Somehow that's going to be tough in a state with 15,577,687 registered voters, if you ask me. (Okay, that stats are out of date, as of May, 2001...)

Let's just say that EVERYONE votes. That would mean we'll have to get 2 million signatures. I've got my clipboard ready.

There are a lot of angry people in this state right now, and it could get on the ballot for the primary election, at which time many Democrats are voting.

A lot of Arnold supporters on DU lately.

What happened to the old liberal belief in the presumption of innocence, or is that out of the window because it is politically expedient?

For example, here is the debunking of the Hitler quote story, brought to you by the man who started it:

SUPPORT ON NAZI CHARGE

Schwarzenegger did get something of a boost Friday in his denial of ever having praised Hitler when George Butler, who produced “Pumping Iron,” said he may have misquoted the actor.

Butler shopped a book proposal on Schwarzenegger’s life six years ago, parts of which were reported in the media overnight. In the proposal, he said that in conversations he left out of the movie, Schwarzenegger named Hitler as one of his heroes.

<snip>

However, Butler contacted The New York Times, which ran a story about the book proposal, on Friday morning, saying he had found another transcript of the interview, with different wording.

That one has Schwarzenegger saying: “I admire him (Hitler) for being such a good public speaker and for his way of getting to the people and so on. But I didn’t admire him for what he did with it. It’s very hard to say who I admire, who are my heroes.”

Butler said that his transcribers had difficulty rendering Schwarzenegger’s remarks because of his accent and that the only way to resolve the discrepancy was to listen to the tapes, which are in Schwarzenegger’s possession.

First of all, while Davis is toast, there is a very good chance that Bustamante may be elected governor on Tuesday.

As to those that want to have another recall election, I will remind you that we have a Presidential election next year. The voters will be exhausted from the current recall, and they may react negatively to a new recall effort. This is not something we want, we don't need California to become competitive for the GOP.

Only if Arnold is elected.

BTW, there is just as much chance that Davis will survive the recall as there is Bustamante will win the replacement vote.

The one thing we can predict with reasonable certainty is that Davis will be recalled.

The recriminations will come if Bustamante is not elected governor. Many of us will ask why did the Democratic establishment undercut Bustamante's campaign at every turn. From the moment he announced, Bustamante was attacked as a traitor by the Davis people. We will ask why didn't Davis step down days ago for the good of the party and endorse Bustamante. We will also ask whether there was anti-Latino bias in the calculations that went into putting all of the eggs in Davis's basket.
