It's over. The message was good, the audience was supportive, the delivery was just awful.

7. He's not a great orator.
but we don't need an actor. We need
him to continue doing the right things for California.

10. I know, I really do, but
I used to be in Toastmasters and I know that he could improve if he tried; and I want him to do everything he can to defeat the recall.

13. I frankly wouldn't trust him if he broke into song and dance...
He's what and who he is. Let's judge him by what he's done.
At least he monogomous, doesn't grab women's breasts, and
hasn't appeared in porn. Let's give him a lot of credit for
the life he's led.

9. They weren't booing him..they booed a proposition he was talking about.
He's a flat speaker but he has my support, from Virginia.
God help California and it's citizens.

(while you are at it Universe, help all of us)

11. You can see this on c-span at 11 eastern time
Speech opened with energy, covered the budget, education
improving, rightwing coup to take over California gov's seat,
he'll keep working for the environment, women's choice,
education, bring in a group of financial people to talk
about the future....

It did what it needed to do in less details. He's open
to debates anytime with anyone.

17. Yup, this speech had the big dawg all over it
The whole enchilada wrapping up all the recent political/electoral theft attempts by the RW was awesome. You know what's a REALLY good thing about this, in a twisted way? Davis has the biggest megaphone right now of any Dem or possibly anyone in the country. When he speaks, everyone's listening right now and the whole country is hearing about the neo-con coup of our electoral system and how it's ALL related, Florida, TX, California...They're getting a big dose of delicious truth force-fed to them Clinton Style!

14. and btw....you didn't see this speech live on any cable but Cspan
that's how important the cable shows are taking this...
much rather air an Arnold commercial and critique it.

The East Coast can blow. Their lights are out.

23. The Corporate Media Loves To Profit From This Fiasco,...
and then they only present one side of it. Such a disgrace.

18. California doesn't need an acting Governor, but a governor who acts
I gladly give this line to the Davis campaign. Just
tell you're realfedup with Republicans. :-)
