How does the court decision change the election? To me it sounds risky.

2. throws a monkey wrench into the juggernaut |
|
and uses Bush V. Gore against them. even if overturned,it puts scotus in an ugly position. Besides why not have the recall the sameday as the Dem Primary?

I doubt that the USSC will involve itself after Bush V Gore. They didn't involve themselves in the NJ Senate race last year.

7. But, but, but, but, but........Bush v. Gore was NEVER to be used. |
|
Never. Except that once. And maybe if another Bush got in trouble.
They used Bush v. Gore? One judge? A bunch? With a seriously twisty sense of humor?

5. Honestly, I think it's a win-win |
|
If the desicision is overturned, it will fire up our base even more, and we already have all the momentum right now.
If it is delayed until March, I see support for the recall waning further. We can raise more money to fight it, I can't see Davis becoming less popular by March, and it will coincide with the primary, when all the Dems will be voting anyway.

6. I don't see the risk.... |
|
Davis can only benefit from time. Schwarzenegger can only be hurt by it. Bustamante is almost irrelevant, because his position is NO on recall.
Given 6 more months, I think Davis can improve his position. The ONLY one who benefits is Tom McClintock.

8. It's a HUGE problem IF the thing ends up |
|
getting CA more computerized voting equipment, which CANNOT be guaranteed to be invulnerable to external hacks or internal malicious code.

9. Better turnout in the March election |
|
There are far more registered Democrats in California. Also more time for fundraising.
More time only favors Davis.
