Maybe not so easy.

I'm torn on this idea. I understand that the CA Dems didn't want to add any legitimacy to the recall, instead trying to frame it as some extreme right-wing stunt. But as you noted, this also means that if he is recalled, there is no backstop. Sure there are some D's on the ballot, but none like with the Davis recall where the sitting Lt. Governor jumps in. He said he did it to save the election. The linked article says something different. But that was an odd time. Davis was hated and Arnold had a name. A huge name.

We have a month and polls are going south for Newsom. I know I would not want to be in CA right now. The ads must be overwhelming.
