I HAVE A DREAM!

DNC chairman vows no Dems on Calif. recall ballot (SF Chronicle, 7/17/2003)

The chairman of the Democratic National Committee vowed Thursday that no Democrat will run to replace Gov. Gray Davis if a Republican-led recall drive reaches the ballot.

"I want the folks here in California to know that we are not going to have another Democrat on the ballot. I think that is the single biggest message I can give today," DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe said at a downtown news conference.

Here it is: for the Democrats to identify themselves with -- chain themselves to -- the most unpopular governor in California history, a man who looks set to sink faster than Jimmy Hoffa in cement overshoes off the coast of Jersey. Posted by Paul Jaminet at July 17, 2003 11:50 PM
