General Confusion
Clintonites and Clark. Democrat recoil in California. Edwards dips.
(Page 2 of 2)
in a recall battle
stepped out of the race last week. “The only way Davis survives
this is if we doesn’t have opposition,” says a state Democratic
Party operative. “We needed everyone to stay out of it.”
/p>
Last week, California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, Attorney General Bill Lockyer and state Treasurer Phil Angelides said they had no intention of running against Davis.
That was followed by a quick statement from Sen. Dianne Feinstein that she would not run. So for now, Davis is clear to focus on how to save his job without worrying about an internal challenge. For now.
“Bustamante wants Davis’s job,” says the party source. “He’s the only one who keeps saying that he ‘intends not to run,’ which is like saying he just won’t run now, but he leaves the option open.”
p> SINKING FAST br> Sen. John Edwards in sinking in the polls as he attempts to run for president. He’s also sinking in the North Carolina polls, and may be pushed out of his job in the Senate by the state party if the Democrats don’t think he can win re-election. All of this makes his publisher look pretty smart. While Hillary Clinton got millions for her book deal, Edwards was paid out a paltry $7,500 advance for his forthcoming tome. No word yet if he’s ready to return the full amount. /p>
