Milo and POTUS posted:

Is there any chance of electoral shenanigans turning Cali red or are the numbers just too skewed towards coastal shitlibs

Compare it to the recall that worked in 2003:

Arnold Schwarzenegger > Larry Elder

Gavin Newsom > Gray Davis (at least in terms of personal charm and charisma)

The Enron scandal is not as big as what's going on now, but it interrupted an otherwise stable and boring time in state politics and therefore stood out as a bizarrely incompetent failure. California's problems now (mainly COVID and rent) mirror the country's problems and are therefore difficult to blame on Newsom personally, even if his personal hypocrisy w/r/t outdoor events is pretty galling.

Newsom will win.

If it's close, this is very bad news for his electability for President. Democrats will ignore this warning sign like they always do.
