"I have abstained from posting about the California Recall here, because I feel that it is sort of a highspeed car wreck"

As opposed to, say...Indymedia?

Remember, some of us have sensitive tummies and can't look for ourselves. We're depending on you for the gory details! (Although I'd love to hold your coat and take the souvenir photo if you ever get to meet with that troll.)

From CNN: "Despite recent reports that Schwarzenegger, 56, allegedly groped and sexually harassed at least 15 women, CNN exit polls showed that about 47 percent of female voters backed him."

What was that about having trouble courting women voters?

Francisco is a complete dolt. How can he see fit to proclaim Republicans dead when the mean old conservatives control just about every major office at the Federal level, a majority of gubernaorial seats, and a plurality of state houses in the country?

Looks to me like the Dems in Cali are the ones about to go extinct, given how that state has been totally in their hands for some time.

Only 15 gooses [geese] in 30 years? Hell, we have priests who do more than that in 15 weeks!
While I didn't get my choice in, I sure as hell got my choice of out. Don't worry about Davis's future - he will work in one of Bustamente's Indian Casinos. Put a dollar in his slot and pull the lever and watch him play.
Politicians seldom help. but they sure can hurt. Ask the poor Latinos who had their car tax trippled. That didn't hurt Arnold, but is sure hurt the working people who are the Democrat party's special wards.

Yeah we want MECHA Racists (Cruz Bustamanti) instead of Nazi Racists. Which is not true. Arnolds father was a Nazi, not Arnold.

But, that don't matter anyway.

I don't think Arnold will effect California with regards to the 2004 election, and in fact might actually cause more damage.

He ran as a man for all people. When you try and please everyone. No one will like it.
