California governor to face recall vote: Davis vows to 'fight like a Bengal tiger'
This election is not about changing governors, it's about changing direction. I believe the voters of California are going to opt for a progressive agenda, not a conservative agenda.
- California Gov. Gray Davis
Man, THIS ought to be fun, eh?? California Republicans, who are almost as desperate as Texas Democrats, can almost smell the blood in the water. Of course, $1.5 million from Darrell Issa, who lusts after Davis' job, certainly didn't hurt.
SACRAMENTO, California (CNN) -- California voters will go to the polls on October 7, when they'll be asked to choose whether to recall embattled Gov. Gray Davis -- and, if so, who his replacement should be.
Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante on Thursday selected the last possible date allowed under California law, which requires the recall election to take place between 60 and 80 days from Wednesday, when officials certified an adequate number of signatures to warrant a recall vote.
Davis, a Democrat, will be the first California governor ever to face such an election and the first U.S. governor to face one in more than 80 years.
Right; if Gray Davis is "progressive", then I'm the Queen of England. Davis' entire political career has been based on what he calls "governing from the center". NOW he's going to paint himself as a Progressive?? Give me a $*!+@ break....
Stay tuned, y'all....
