RE:"I also think he's a nice guy.......saw him skiing with his kids once......looked to be a good father. I just don't think he's got the experience to run a state as complicated and as f*kked up as CA." Ted, Gray Davis is a carreer politician. Very clever about getting elected. That didn't say much about his ability to turn California around either. He looked like a complete idiot when the oil guys jerked his state over the barrel. OTOH, there is the distinct possiblity that Californias woes were seeded long befor Davis or Wilson or... It's just reaching the crescendo now. I mean, look at some of the bonehead things the populace voted for over the last 26 years...and they wonder why they are out of power, broke, overrun, losing businesses, out of jobs and 38 billion dollars short. They wanted ecotopia and nirvana but forgot a few details along the way. Jim

Ted, I think if you vote 'no' on the recall, you can't vote for somebody else. You can. The new strategy by the Dems is to vote against the recall, but vote for Lt. Gov. Bustamante "just in case." That's their new "divide-n-conquer" strategy, for they know they can't win on the recall question, but they can try and consolodate their votes on the replacement question. Tenchusatsu EDIT: Just saw the other post as well. I heard even if Davis resigns, the recall is still on. Bustamante would act as interim governor while the recall took place. If the recall is defeated, Bustamante would become governor. If not, whoever is chosen in the 2nd question (yes, including Bustamante) would become governor.
