If Arnold wins, who will be Lt Govenor?

[xray s]

Does he pick one after the election?

[HEyHEY]

1. I was wonderng this last night

I think it'll be Tom Arnold

[arcos]

2. Cruz was elected as Lt. Gov. and would remain there. n/t

[proud patriot]

3. That's my understanding as well n/t

[xray s]

5. And when would the Lt Govenor assume the Govenorship?

If the Govenor is convicted of a crime maybe?

16. Recall is the only case where the Lt Gov does not succeed the Gov

Otherwise, if the governor's office is vacated, the Lt. Governor assumes the office.

4. OK, I'll say it

Danny DeVito

18. You beat me to it....

6. Steven Segal

7. Maria, the crypt-keeper - NT

8. Statewide offices in California are elected independently of each other

Bustamente remains Lt Governor (unless Davis is recalled and he wins the replacement vote) and Bill Lockyer remains Attorney General. Sorry, Ken Lay, Lockyer wants to introduce you to Spike.

9. Is there an ongoing investigation by the Cal AG into Enron?

And... could the new allegations about Arnold meeting with Lay become part of that investigation?

[Jack Rabbit]

14. The state investigation is pre-empted by the federal 'investigation'

The DoJ opened its own investigation of Enron, which pre-empts the state investigation.

Of course, there is no real federal investigation; it is nothing but a cover for Enron.

11. Wow

I didn't know this....

[Jack Rabbit]

15. That's right

Arnold will still be the only statewide GOP officer. He will face a hostile legislature full of Democrats who will not view the recall much more kindly than they view the Florida election theft. He's going to be in for a rocky time of it.

[even]

10. Only if she has...

big bank accounts.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

12. Given Chester the molester's attitude toward women

I think Larry Flint might be a good choice.

[genius]

13. They didn't recall Cruz. He will remain Lt. Gov.

Of course, there should have been no second half to the ballot and Cruz should succeed Davis.

17. Bustamonte will stay as Lt. Gov.

it's an elected position independent of the governor
