Part 2

Schwarzenegger 25%

Bustamate 15%

6. I think It's All Name Recognition Driven
and it looks like the recall might pass


However 25% may be a ceiling not the floor for Arnold and Cruz Bustamante doesn't have Arnold's name I. D.


And Arnold is running slighly ahead among Hispanics. That won't last when Bustamante gets his word out on Spanish television and radio


Hasta la vista Arnold.

7. Most Californians don't know who Cruz is
In retrospect, the Democrats should have had Cruz running a week before Arnold so that he could have had a week of media spotlight. Now that Arnold is in the race, and media is promoting him shamelessly, Cruz is in trouble.

We need to get some star power of our own to California as soon as possible to help get Cruz some TV time.

Bill Clinton and as many big name celebs as possible need to rally around Cruz and help him get some media coverage.

It is very sad that politics have come to this, but this race is all about entertainment, not issues.

8. Don't despair
Despite all the wet pants and panties Arnold's only at 25%.

That's a ceiling not a floor

Can you believe that Larry Flynt is at 4%?

11. That's Assuming The Race Is Static
You know as well as I that races are fluid.


I'm not impressed with 25% after 48 hours of an Aronldpalooza. I thought he'd be much higher.

Don't forget there was a short time when Perot was president.

He had a narrow lead over Bush and Clinton during the summer of 92.


I feel much better about our chances now.

12. 2 months seems short to campaign, but it's the same as the ....
critical months before a general election. Two months before a general election seems like a lifetime.

I agree, 25% is low. I thought it was going to be 50%+. Two months is plenty of time but we need to start right away.

I called Bustamante's office yesterday for an address and sent a contribution. I'm sure he'll have some major contributors but every little bit helps.

9. How About Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and JLo
I remember during the run up to the 00 campaign Matt Damon compared George Bush to Fraydo of the Corleone family-LOL



He said even the Corleone's didn't give Fraydo the keys to the family business.

15. Maher did his community duty. Can other celebrities
do adds against the recall (and for Bustamante) as theirs?
It seems that the only way to get traction in the media.
