The Brilliant Republican Recall Strategy
Or, why the primary process produces a stronger candidate.
The first critical question the CA supreme court decided in favor of the democrats was the ability for someone to vote against the recall and for a candidate to replace the Governor, should the recall succeed.
The second critical question was again decided in the democrat's favor: The Governor cannot appear as a candidate should the recall succeed.
Without any other serious democratic opposition, the democrats have the statistical advantage. If the recall is delayed until march, it will be overwhelming.
So, with one fell swoop, the Republicans may have just done what the Democratic party could never have done by itself:
1) Elected a more progressive Democrat as Governor
2) Gotten rid of Davis
3) Get Prop 13 on the table
<heh>
Our viral implant of Buffet into the CA Republican propaganda machine worked better than our wildest expectations! Azaelf the Republicans see the incredible logic of the Prop 13 argument and the other Azaelf have the knee jerk NeoCon reflex against ALL TAXES. They fight each other like rabid dogs and make a democratic victory even more likely.
They destroy each other while simultaneously advancing our commie liberal Saddam coddling agenda.
Just getting my licks in while the chaos is stoking up the fires.
