Dem Presidential Candidates Oppose Recall

[Rose Siding]

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Democratic presidential candidates oppose the California recall drive, but are divided along with other party leaders over strategy to avoid a Republican takeover.

Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio denounced the effort to recall Gov. Gray Davis, but said Thursday they want the party to rally behind a Democratic alternative in case Davis is thrown out.

"I'm against the recall, I think it's wrong. But I think people ought to have a choice beyond Arnold Schwarzenegger and Larry Flynt," said Lieberman, endorsing Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante. Actor Schwarzenegger and Flynt, a pornography publisher, are candidates on the Oct. 8 ballot.

Most of Lieberman's rivals don't want to talk about an alternative to Davis.

1. So When Are Going to Hear Davis Come Out for Davis?

Has he given up already?
For someone who is weeks from an election to save his career he sure has been quiet.

"It's a political power play against a governor who has governed in hard times"

Exact Quote from Sen Lieberman

A "Political Power Play"! He hit the nail on the head DUers! He knows that this recall is wrong and any Cali Dems who hate Davis should think about what's to come if a Repug gets in!!!!
