Davis
West coast Mom sends the following update from California, where the Governor is even embarrassing his fans:

If you are a political junkie and thrive on larger than life scenarios, check out Dan Weintraub's blog for sometimes hourly updates on the latest developments on Gray Davis' self destruction.  The next four days will be crazy and pivotal to the ultimate outcome.  Indeed, this is not about the right wing any more (if it ever was), as Davis  continues to dig himself deeper and deeper.  The good news is that the whole recall issue is educating some of the populace about the fundamental structural problems with CA state government (like term limits, Prop 13, etc.)  that need to be addressed before anything will get better.  The very best person to take over is Dianne Feinstein, with enough political capital to be able to do the right thing, and also the ability to restore some credibility (both national and international) to the state.  Will she do it?  I'd support her in a heartbeat.
Real conservatives (like all good Americans) root for their city/state/country, not their favorite party (and they find The Onion funny even when they disagree). Go, Mom!

[Update: As though on cue, Feinstein has gone on record saying she won't run, which leaves Arianna Huffington as the likliest lefty? Imagine an SUV-hating governor...]
