Guv’nah:
So I don’t much to say about the California gubanatorial race other than it’s looks like the lunacy is already getting sucked out of it. Now pundits are saying that, should recall come, there’s a real horserace on between Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante and The Kindergarten Cop. Which isn’t nearly as fun as a battle royal between Ariana Huffington, Larry Flynt and Gallagher.
Incidentally, I’d like the dems to keep the Governor’s House as much as everyone else in this town. Seems to me that if Davis stepped down then Bustamante becomes the Governor and the recall is meaningless because the guy who was getting recalled isn’t in office anymore.
Right?
But of course that isn’t going to happen. Davis is too proud and politics as usual dicatates that you get behind whoever is in office whether or not a) it’s good for the future of the party and b) whether or not the person in office has any business being there or are simply a career political bureaucrat who climbed the ladder, didn’t make trouble and now somehow “deserves” the office at the level they’ve ascended to. And then everyone complains about that person’s “lack of vision.”
Uh huh.
Actually, Kev, I heard that once the recall is certified, it goes forward whether or not the recalled official resigns. I can’t cite to authority, but I assure you if it were possible, the howling mob that is the Democratic Party would be coronating Bustamante by now.

Thanks Mike. I actually had a second conversation about this with someone and yes, you’re correct. Whether or not the person up for recall resigns, the recall election goes forward. However, in a shocking reversal, a recent poll shows Bustamante out in front by like 12 points. So it may not be much of a horserace after all.
If Davis gets recalled. If he doesn’t, this is all whistling in the dark.
