This should be entertaining (if Drudge is right):
Bill and Hillary Clinton will inject themselves in to the historic California recall battle, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, as Democrats vow to fight to the finish to retain the state’s governorship!
The former president and his senator wife will trek to the golden state for campaign appearances with Gray Davis, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
The Clintons and Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe plan to reinforce a theme of Republicans undoing and undermining election results, “like they did in Florida,” a well-placed source said from Washington.
The permanent campaign continues… What is Gary Condit doing?

Hearing this, I’d expect that the more paranoid types on the right will expect Our Bill to sweep in and put himself on the ballot as an alternative to Davis–it’s not as if he’s famous for loyalty, and Davis wouldn’t merit it if he was. If he did, he’d instantly be the odds-on favorite to win, and Davis would be dead, dead, dead.
Of course, this is a flight of fantasy–Bill Clinton is almost certainly a masochist, but nowhere near enough to want to be governor of California right now. :-)

In answer to your last question, I read somewhere last week (I can’t find it now) that Condit was thinking of *running*!

“The Clintons and Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe plan to reinforce a theme of Republicans undoing and undermining election results, “like they did in Florida,” a well-placed source said from Washington.”
Because that worked *so* well in the election of 2002–particularly in Florida. Is McAuliffe brain dead or just really, really stubborn? News flash, Terry–one third of the signatures on those petitions were from Democrats. Davis isn’t being recalled because he’s a Democrat, he’s being recalled because he’s a slimy, lying SOB who’s alienated a substantial portion of his own party along with virtually all of the opposition party. I wouldn’t have voted to have the recall election if I still lived in California, but I sure as hell am going to enjoy the show now that it’s on–it’s a richly deserved fate.

I don’t really care what is happening there, but the bill better be paid by the end of the month, or it’s going to be dark at night…..

Whaddaya bet Bill is in the process of establishing residency there?
