Bush is losing ground in the polls in California. This underlines two things:
1. As I’ve been saying for some time, Bush has a better shot of reviving in NY (where the war on terror is especially close to home) than in CA. I’ll believe a Republican winning in California when I see it.
2. Bush has nothing to lose from a recall of Gray Davis, and much to gain; if things just fester in California, voters won’t be itching to reward any incumbents.
On a related note, CalPundit (actually doing some California punditry in a break from his all-Niger routine) has a hilarious story of Democrats plotting to force a budget impasse in California for partisan advantage– in front of an open mike.
Just imagine if Newt Gingrich got caught saying some of the stuff in this article.
