This right here is ultimately why GOP are pushing for Elder

1. Not gonna happen, repugs. Polls show Newsom is winning.

Maybe next time there's a Dem gov. you can't beat in the regular election so you try a recall.

[IcyPeas]

5. word has it that republicans vote later and in person

in person voting has just started here, so we will see if the numbers change at all as of this week.

I hope you are right.

6. The reports today, one just on cable, say there is light turn out.

I feel that the often stated phrase that "republican enthusiasm" is greater than that of the Democrats is over-hyped. Polls of likely voters favor Newsom 58% to 34%.

Dems know Elder is another DeSantis out to ban masks and vaccines. And he's no Arnold.

18. Pls stop repeating that "republicans are more motivated than Democrats."

There's no proof of that. It's just an easy talking point that's spread out there and lazy reporters keep repeating it.

If you don't believe actual polls that show likely voters favor Newsom 58% to 34%, and women voters favor Newsom 62% over anti-abortionist Elder, why do you believe some unproven statement that republicans are more motivated?

Where is that poll, where is that proven?


The final results are not in the bag but I'm willing to bet that on Sept. 15 Newsom will still be governor.

20. The evidence says you're wrong. This is a

right wing talking point I think.

[Marius25]

22. I disagree, it's not a right-wing talking point.

Even Joy Reid brought the subject up last night. But I deleted it since I'm sure someone will report me for being concerned.

23. I said it was an "easy talking point." Sometimes jounalists,...

even progressive journalists, repeat what is supposed to be accepted wisdom, but there's no proof that republicans are more motivated than Democrats on this.

Anyone can say that.

What seems more obvious is that Democrats are more motivated on this as Elder wants to ban masks, vaccines and women's rights and turn California into another Texas or Florida with covid spiking all over the place, POC votes being suppressed and abortions banned.

2. Well, first of all, I do NOT expect him to beat Governor Gavin Newsom.

And Elder is sadly mistaken about President Biden's mental capacity. He outshines all the Republicans!

And thirdly, Dianne Feinstein is also just fine.

I think that covers it.

Dream on, you brass-plated idiot.

17. :) Well stated!

Polls say there's a huge gender gap, with 62% of women saying Newsome's doing a good job, and only 34% of men.

Who knows? Stretch as it seems, perhaps the title of the OP's at least partially right, that hostility toward the woman is powering the recall.

3. Hey gqp...what did turtle do in KY? Oh right, with a super majority he made sure they

would pick his successor...not the governor

Last I checked CA has a super majority. They can’t think beyond their pencil...better not say it

[FBaggins]

4. Nonsense. That would just be a bonus

Knocking off the most powerful remaining Democratic governor - and specifically due to his Covid policies - would be quite the coup.

DF isn’t exactly young, but the chances of dying in the next year aren’t all that high. She certainly wouldn’t retire for Elder if she wouldn’t do it for Newsome.

[Hortensis]

9. This. A Republican CA governor would be huge, and Elder's

nasty enough to suit their voters and corrupt enough for their donors. Even on the right, not just anyone has the stomach for what's required these days. Most who might have in the past do not run for office.

[LiberalLovinLug]

7. Feinstein could do everyone a favor and resign now.

[Hortensis]

12. I assumed the OP was about displaying the trumpists' ugliness and stupidity.

Why else would Elders' vicious slurs be posted here? Caving to them, out of fear or anything else, would be no favor to me.

10. If the PTOS has a mental condition

Then The Korrupt Korpulent Koprolite who just left the white house has a more serious mental condition along the lines of basalt or perhaps sedimentary rock (after all look at that criminal's lifestyle. sedimentary is more his rock style.). Joe is sharp, brilliant, and has a heart of gold.

11. Keep Newsome +8.6

14. What happens if neither "keep" nor "remove" has a majority?

Let's say, for example, that 49 percent vote to keep, but 46 percent vote to remove (and 5 percent abstain from voting either way). Would Newsom still be removed in that scenario because he fell short of 50 percent? I'm not sure how it works.

[erpowers]

21. Yes

That is the problem with recall in California. Gavin Newsome, as far as I know, has to get 51% of the vote to stay in office. So Newsome could lose the election with 49-50% of the vote while Larry Elder could win the election only 18% of the vote. Last I heard, Elder is the leading opponent, but is only polling at 18% of the vote.

13. Why do these right wing nuts like to refer to themselves in the third person??? /nt

[Grokenstein]

16. Elder's mouth is the gift that keeps donating to Newsom's campaign.

But if you're a Californian, you still need to vote no.

Anyone who comes up to me and says "Oh, I didn't bother because I thought/knew it was in the bag" is going to regret it, regardless of the outcome of the recall.

19. He has NEVER been elected to

ANY thing, not even class clown. So of course the rethugs think he can handle the world's 5th largest economy, Are-nolt thought he had it wired too, piece of cake!

Took Jerry Brown 8 years to clean up that mess.
