Arianna or Cruz ?

[JI7]

do you all think i should vote for arianna huffington or cruz bustamante for governor. i of course will vote against the recall. but who should i vote on the secord part ? do you think bustamante has an enough lead that if the recall goes through he will be the governor. or should i not take chances and just vote for him ?

1. I would vote for Cruz

Just becasue if the recall does go though, Cruz has the best chance of beating Ahhh-nold.

2. Ditto.

Pure pragmatism.

[Stumbles]

3. yep.

it's the ABB thing in smaller scale. I'd like to see Arianna win but she has no chance. Go for Cruz.

4. I'm with Al Franken. Vote for Arianna only if she has a chance to win...

Otherwise, vote for Bustamante to keep the Rethugs from winning.

5. As someone who respects and admires Arianna, the fact is

this will be another REALLY close election. Going for the candidate who can and will garner the MOST votes is the best choice.

Under normal circumstances, I would NOT throw my support behind Bustamante..but in this election I will.

6. Cruz, dammit, don't be silly

This is actually rather important. Davis may pull this out yet, and that would be the best of all.

7. I'm voting for.....

no on the recall and waiting til the very end to decide between Arianna (who I really would like to vote for) and Cruz. I just think it's tooooooo important to throw away the vote on this or we'll have McClintock and real problems, plus stealing the 2004 California electoral votes if a Republican is in there, not to mention it would also let Cheney off the hook for his energy meetings, etc. I personally think that is the real reason for the recall in the first place. Cheney should be in jail and he knows it.

8. Maybe if the prevailing mindset wasn't "Fear of Florida Redux"...

...Arianna would be on top of the polls. She certainly seems to have most of the votes here if that weren't the case.

Vote with your conscience, not Republican fear tactics.

9. I'm voting for Arianna Huffington

The debate re-inforced my support for her. Of cource I'm voting NO on the recall
