Will (WaPo) on the Recall


Am going to post excerpts and links to Op-Eds on the recall... So first up, George Willwho hopes a pox on all your houses!

Excerpt:
---------------------
However, if in a few weeks Davis seems a certain loser, muscular Democratic interests, none of which are tied to him by cords of affection, might successfully pressure him to resign. Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who is a candidate to succeed him, would become governor, the recall would deflate and the Democratic Party's condign punishment probably would be to continue wrestling with the problems it has created or exacerbated.

California's Republican Party, sunk in frivolousness and opportunism, also deserves to come out of this badly. That is conservatism's hope for this recall: ruin all around.
---------------------

Over the weekend, I saw a poll (didn't catch the source) that had the recall passing with 54% of the vote. I saw one on Monday night that I think was a USA Today poll that had the recall passing with a whopping 69% of the vote! If the Democratic Party's internal numbers are showing the same thing, the pressure for Davis to resign will grow thus allowing Constitutional succession to occur thus making the part I ballot moot and part II a "re-election" campaign.
