"What does he know about water? What does he know about how the sales tax is administered in California? Anything?"
What does`Davis know? What he's shown so far that he knows well is how to take bribes. He never saw a campaign contributor he couldn't support.

His support of legal abortion and adoption rights for gay couples — both stands he has taken in recent years but not discussed in the context of a recall campaign — has already raised concerns among conservatives, the core constituency in a GOP primary. In 1999, he told George magazine he was "ashamed to call myself a Republican" when Congress impeached and tried former President Clinton — and said he would never forgive the party.
Actually, that could play well in CA.

But if Riordan runs, I think he will take it. Assuming Feinstein or Bustamante are not on the ballot. If they are, I vote against recall. Better a disgraced Davis in office in '04 than one of them in and able to run again.

In broad terms, Schwarzenegger, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has long described himself as a fiscal conservative with moderate views on social issues, a standard Republican formula for victory in a Democratic-leaning state like California.

Sounds great- I'm sure Arnold as a behind the scenes man in the film industry has more experience with large budgetary infighting than most politicians... my only concern would be his relationship with other national republicans.

Why do they put it like this? 1998 was a mandate against holier-than-thou behavior from republicans nationwide.
