The Democratic Party's battle plan for the California recall election (now scheduled for October 7) is to stand firm, and for all their potential candidates to boycott the election. No Democrat will run against Davis.

At least that's the plan. A little bird tells me that the lure of power is going to overcome at least one of them (hell, power is why you BECOME a Democrat), and a Democratic hat will be thrown into the ring. If that happens, expect a rain of hats to follow.

The fact that the Democrats don't want you to know is that a good third of the signatures on the recall petitions were from Democrats.

The Democratic Party is going to pull out all the stops on this one. Every dirty trick in the book to save Davis' ass. This is going to be more fun than Mexican masked wrestling.
