2. I Love Arianna

She is a greek goddess...

She should stay in longer to further mess up arnolds hair and just generally piss him off.

The minute she pulls we need to stump for the supporters. Likely she will go with the lesser of 2 evils.

3. That's too damned bad

I guess they will all now abandon the sinking ship to the Groper.

6. Too bad all the absentee ballots are already coming in

Counties set for surge in absentee ballots
MANY ALREADY IN; TODAY DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION
By Lori Aratani
Mercury News

Every day, thousands of absentee ballots -- votes that could prove key in determining who will lead California -- are flooding into county registrars' offices across the state.

In Santa Clara County alone, more than 2,000 ballots arrived Monday as dozens more voters streamed into the registrar's office to vote in person. Of the 131,000 absentee ballots mailed out, about 48,000 have been returned so far -- almost double the 25,000 that were in hand last week.

Yolo deluged with absentee ballots
By Elisabeth Sherwin/Enterprise staff writer

Freddie Oakley, Yolo County clerk, said the results of absentee voting -- which could represent 40 percent of the votes cast locally in the Oct. 7 election -- could be displayed 10 minutes after the polls close.

And this special election is seeing another 10 percent to 15 percent of the voting population turning in absentee ballots on top of that permanent 25 percent.

"This is the highest percentage of absentee voters we've ever experienced," Oakley said Thursday.

She said her office is keeping up with the deluge of absentee ballots: "We turn them around the same day."

7. I heard that she will endorse Bustamante!!!!

:kick:

8. Good news

Camejo should get onboard also.

[genius]

9. Arianna's the most intelligent candidate in the race.

I was planning to vote for Bustamonte because, under the California Constitution, he's the one who should rightfully become governor if Davis can't finish his term. But Arianna is the one making all the intelligent points in the race.

I hope she doesn't withdraw.

10. Good

That will bring us a crucial block of 100,000-200,000 votes.
