Exactly, he's a Democrat. California is a solidly Democratic state, Ted. Two Democratic Senators, a Democratic house contigent and the Democrats control the state legislature. The Republicans have virtually no political clout in the state, and Democrats are going to come out in force, either to oppose the recall or to ensure the governorship remains Democratic. Either way, this will be a huge plus for Bustamante. He also will get a natural draw on Hispanic voters, which is a pretty significant part of the California electorate. In fact, without winning at least a bare majority of the Hispanic vote, I'd say a Republican doesn't stand a chance of winning a statewide election in California these days.
