Let Them Eat Cake
So Lisa was very confused last night, watching the results come in. “Who voted for the recall?” “Who voted for Schwarzenegger?” “I don’t know anyone who did!” Considering the returns from San Francisco County for both Recall and Candidate, that’s not surprising:
Shall Gray Davis be recalled?
Yes 45,783 19.6%
No 187,450 80.4%
Cruz M. Bustamante Dem 132,123 63.4%
Arnold Schwarzenegger Rep 39,330 18.9%
Exit polls reveal that most of voters who cast ballots in Tuesday’s recall election were white, female, Republican, college-educated and financially comfortable, with more than half of interviewed voters reporting a household income of $50,000 or more. Poor people, minorities and people with little or no education — arguably the portion of the electorate with the most to lose or gain — stayed home.
