[UCLA02]

What a crock!!

[not systems]

1. why not hang on...

[UCLA02]

3. Shit, at least wait until more than 26.8%! nt

[joshcryer]

10. I know, what the fuck?

That's so stupid.

5. The Gore Stategery..

9. This is puzzling

Los Angeles and San Francisco have only begun to come in, and they're against the recall. I checked the live update, and the Bay Area (except for Marin?), as well as Sonoma, Napa, and Humboldt counties are going against the recall. He should never concede before the major population centers have reported in.

In 2002, Portland and the heavily union coastal city of Astoria saved the Oregon governorship for the Dems. All evening, it looked as if the despicable Repiggie candidate was going to win, but Portland and Astoria saved the day.

2. Hmmmmm

Seems like a lot of people in that room want a re-recall.

6. Davis' top LA guy came to our school a few weeks ago

and said that within 30 days there will be a move for recall, then with toungue-firmly-in-cheek saying "you didn't hear that from me"

4. With 25% of the precincts reporting?

???

7. The Dem Strategery..

Concede.. then fight the outcome. That's what Dems normally do, right?

[UCLA02]

8. Is that Jesse Jackson in the background??

All I can see is the guy's eyes. Looks like him, tho.

11. So, how soon can you file a recall petition....

...and who will coordinate collecting the signatures?

C'mon, there must be at least a million sane people in CA, right?

bemusedly,

12. He should wait

Sure, I'm just being overly optimistic, but I hate to see Davis conceding with only 29-percent of the vote counted. Didn't we learn anything from Florida 2000?

Oh yeah, and I certainly hope Californians get going on a re-recall ASAP. That would be awesome!

[BuckeFushe]

13. Spineless piece of shit, he should have walked in and said

I CONCEED NOTHING UNTILL ALL THE VOTES ARE COUNTED. Tired of this weaK-ass attitude.

[jenk]

15. it's back to 55-45

with 65% of the precincts still not in
