Ahnold won't deliver Cali for bush because they are completely different breeds of politician, admiration for hitler aside. Plus, the recall could be viewed as expression of anti-incumbent sentiment, rather than anti-Democratic. That said, if the Democrats don't make a big deal of bush's strong ties to the theives at Enron, they're giving him a bye on an issue that could singlehandedly win the state for Democrats.

Why do you think AZ and NM voters will view bush as strong, let alone desirable, in 2004?

Yes, indeed, you could be wrong. I think you're wrong. And I'm willing to bet more than an I/O burger on it. If bush wins those two states as part of his 2004 landslide, I'll buy you a pint of Portland microbrew at a local pub of your choice. 'Course, you'll have to catch up with me before I move to New Zealand or Hungary...

Where do I go to collect the I/O burger?
