Fun with Numbers

So 40 percent of Californians want Schwarzenegger as their next Governer, over 32 percent for Cruz and 15 percent for McClintock. However, recall is winning at 56 percent. (see numbers here) .

Here's my fun scenario: Huffington (2%) just withdrew, dropping that 56% to 54% for recall. GOPers are calling for McClintock to withdraw. Now, my dream (and it is a dream) is that the McClintock people -- right wing as they are -- don't see much difference between Schwarzenegger and Davis. Say Tom withdraws, and half of those people decide to vote AGAINST recall. That would make recall fail.

And what a scream it would be, after the GOPers got Tom to withdraw so that he doesn't split Arnie's vote.

It's amazing how I daydream without coffee.....
