Cal Secretary of State Shirley Weber tried to block Larry Elder from being on the recall ballot .She said that in order to qualify for the ballot he needed to produce tax returns . But that is not the case. It is a requirement in state primaries but it is not a requirement in recall ballots . So Superior Court Judge Laurie Earl ordered her to add Elder's name to the already 40 something names on the recall ballot .
This makes Elder ,who is a Black Conservative with a national following based on his very successful syndicated talk show ,a leading candidate to remove Gavin Newsome from office . Elder's entry into the race kills Newsome's absurd contention that the recall is a“ racist, white supremacist, QAnon recall”.

Newsome's absurd contention that the recall is a“ racist, white supremacist, QAnon recall”.This always seems to be their go-to call for the non-thinking crowd. There are so many who are completely willing to listen to that kind of thinking and eager to accept it. It has the enormous appeal of being able to blame my problems on someone else.

Lot of people vying to be governor, must be an important position, not not so even big Arnie could win it. Perhaps you need him back, wasn't that his line "I'll be back"?

Arnie ,like il Duce Cuomo, married into the Kennedy clan and that has helped shape their political views (Arnie married Maria Shriver niece of the swimmer Ted Kennedy . Cuomo married Kerry Kennedy daughter of Robert Kennedy ) . There are also distant family ties with Madam Mim and Gavin Newsom.

California is in a really bizarre situation with the most fiscally conservative candidate being Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner.

Let's face it Arnie would have been been and gone as president by now if has nation of birth hadn't been against him. Silly rule that

The dems would never have accepted him and he is too liberal for the republican base.

The Republicans wouldn't accept him because of his family ties, I can understand they wouldn't want to tie themselves to the Kennedy's. Tell me; why do these demonrat families all act like the mafia?

The Dems going back to the days of Tammany Hall in NYC ; the Daley machine in Chi-town; the Pendergast machine in KC that produced Truman ; have acted like the mafia because that is their MO . LBJ and the Texas Dems stole the 1948 Senate election that propelled his career . The Kennedy's in cahoots with Daley and the mafia stole the 1960 presidential election . In a number of inner cities the Dems have been known to give out cigarettes for votes (smokes for votes ) This is a variant of the 19th century booze for votes .

Now it's a great deal less subtle. "Vote for us and we'll send you checks."

Pretty similar to the scare tactics and fear-mongering about other races stealing the election from the white man! Worked for Reagan pretty good, and the dufus too!

Larry Elder gaining momentum
Vote ‘yes’ on the recall, Larry Elder for governor – Orange County Register (ocregister.com) (https://www.ocregister.com/2021/08/15/vote-yes-on-the-recall-larry-elder-for-governor/)
Newsom is worried
California recall: Gavin Newsom sharpens message as Larry Elder poses threat in race - CNNPolitics (https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/16/politics/california-recall-newsom-elder/index.html)
Wouldn't that be ironic ? The 1st Black Governor of the bluest of blue states could be a libertarian /conservative Republican .

It would certainly be a step in the right direction.
