Now its Lt. Gov. Bustamante who says he's out if the recall happens. Evidently the political geniuses in the Democratic party believe that the Governor's chances of staying in office are higher if there are no Democratic choices on the ballot for Governor at the time of the recall vote. Fat chance. Quotable:

over 35 percent of the people in [Davis's] own party say they'll sign our petition if they have the opportunity," said Dave Gilliard, director of Rescue California Recall Gray Davis.

Ouch. This comes on top of news that Davis's approval rating has sunk to only 38% among Democrats.
