SacObserver.com [GOVERNMENT] Court Reinstates October 7 Recall Date: "As the appeals court mulled its decision, the GOP congressman who bankrolled the effort urged either McClintock or Schwarzenegger to drop out.

Rep. Darrell Issa said Monday that if both leading GOP candidates remained on the ballot, he would urge voters to vote no on recalling Davis because a yes vote would assure a victory for Bustamante."

Let me just rephrase that in my own words: 'The person who bankrolled the effort to recall Davis might actually vote No on the recall.' So, for him, it's not really about Davis' qualifications or performance at all, is it? It's simply about which party the governor belongs to. I'm flabbergasted that he would be so transparent as to admit that he'd rather just have Davis stay as governor than the possibility of a different Democrat. What happened to giving the rest of us voters a choice?
