Fox News reports that the California Lt. Governor has broken Democrat ranks and entered the race. Given all the hubub around Arnold, I don't see Davis retaining his throne if it comes up for a vote. While I realize that Davis will do anything to keep his crown, I don't think he'll risk letting the GOP take over. Davis will resign. It may be an eleventh hour withdrawal, that spurs controversy and requires the State Supreme Court to creatively "interpret" the law (Frank Lautenberg, anyone?), but I still think he'll resign. That is, unless he starts winning the baseless legal challenges that are already in the hopper.

It is my understanding that after the recall has been certified, the election goes forward whether or not Davis resigns. I could be wrong, though.
Posted by: Matt Harris at August 8, 2003 10:06 AMMatt, you are correct. The only thing that happens is that the first part of the ballot is moot (i.e. recalling the Gov.) but the second part to determine who replaces him goes on.
