Arianna Shifts Campaign to Defeat the Recall, Arnold and Prop 54

Arianna Huffington delivered the following statement on September 30, 2003.

Over the last 48 hours it has become clear to me that the only way to stop a Republican takeover of our state is to vote No on the recall.

Because it's also clear that I am not going to win on October 7, I am withdrawing from the race so that I can devote all my time and energy in the remaining week to defeating the recall -- and to defeating the Arnold Schwarzenegger-Pete Wilson forces that are trying to use the recall to hijack our state.

The number one goal of my candidacy has always been ending the power of special interest money to determine public policy. Which is why I filed a Clean Money/Clean Elections ballot initiative last week to create a system of publicly funded campaigns.

recall. Interesting dame, our Ariana.

Have they given up?

that indicated that they were upset about the Republican takeover and were going to fight back, with $.

"In 2000, we were taken in by a charming, affable man who promised us compassion but gave us war in Iraq, a soaring deficit, millions of lost jobs, two million more people living in poverty, and the rollback of vital environmental protections. I look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, and see more of the same. We don't need another charming, affable figurehead for all the usual Republican special interests. Let's not be fooled again."

She knew she never had a chance. Just a shallow self-promoter. Mabye she will sell more books.

If she were just a self promoter, she wouldn't have dropped out. She is the best of the bunch and could have won it if their were a longer time to gather momemntum in my view. If she had it would have been incombant on Cruse to drop.

we'll see
