The Democrats of California are preparing to do what they tried to do in Florida – win the election in the judicial system. They are on a nation-wide fund raising campaign that is to pay for poll watchers so they will be on hand to observe, and thereafter testify in any court challenges.

If the vote is close, the court battles will begin at the local level. If the vote isn’t, the ACLU will take the overturned decision to have the recall to the Supreme Court. Settle in folks, no matter what my counter in the upper right says, this one ain’t gonna be over next week, or even Nov. 15.

American hero Rudy Giuliani is on his way to California to do a little fund raising of his own – for Schwarzenegger, while spoiled-brat Huffington has done the ultimate flip-flop and is campaigning for Davis. Bustamante is increasingly irrelevant, as it looks like he has blown his entire political career in this one short span of time.

Arnold, on the other hand, has moved from acting like a candidate to acting like a governor as he laid out a ten-point plan for his first 100 days in office:

1. Repeal Davis’ car tax

2. Freeze spending
3. Call a special session to make spending cuts in the current fiscal budget
4. Negotiate new compacts with Indian casinos (more slot machines in exchange for more state revenue)
5. Renegotiate contracts with state employees
6. A jobs package with ?real? workers compensation reform
7. A budget proposal for the next fiscal year that closes the gap and restructures inherited debt
8. Streamline the education bureaucracy by consolidating nearly 100 special programs known as ?categoricals?
9. Ask lawmakers to repeal the bill that gives driver?s licenses to illegal immigrants, and take it to the ballot if they refuse
10. Pass a constitutional amendment to broaden public access to government records, and pass a measure to ban political fundraising while the budget is pending

Nice.
