As for how the election may turn out, with the way Gray Davis seems to be melting down and the possible GOP split, I'd lay even money at this point on Cruz Bustamante winding up in the governor's chair come November.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if that's not the case.

Bill Simon is out. There might not be a Republican split and if so, Bustemonte is toast. McClintoc or whatever his name is might bow out soon too. No poll that I have seen gets him about 10% if that.
Sorry but it looks like a Arnie V Bustemonte race with a side show of Coleman, Flint, Huffington, and the pornstar.

It's called MECHA ("la Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlanand") it wants to retake the territories we annexed in 1848, by military force if necessary, and evict all the gringos from them by any means necessary. It uses the Aztecs in the same way that the Nazis took from the symbols of Pagan Germany--which is mildly concerning, considering that the Aztecs themselves managed to rival the Nazis in some aspects...Simon H.Johansen wrote:

However, I might add that I've never heard that Bustamante is a member of it, and would like to hear some proof of this.

'Scuse me. An "and" slipped in there, the proper name is:
La Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or "The Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan" aka MEChA.
I did just fine this article by Malkin which seems to confirm what Perinquus has said:
Michelle Malkin article on Bustamante's MEChA connections.
I would like confirmation however. If this is true it's highly disturbing, because it means that the equivlant of Benito Mussolini or Francisco Franco has a not-unreasonable chance of being elected governor of the most powerful state in the union, which is incredibly frightening, to put it mildly.

That's the problem with so many PC addled fools. They never look at what the culture espouses, instead it's assumed that every culture has the right to exsist. Who cares that they were murderous semi-barbarians, they have right to exist in their minds. It's simply the fear of making a judgement.Vorlon1701 wrote:Fuck cultural heritage.

Worse yet, I've had first-hand experience with MEChA, and I can say that it is not pretty. Sure, they try to gloss it over for non-Latinos, but there was no denying the outright coldness I experienced from them. And for fuck's sake, I was working as webmaster for the ASO at my old JC...

This article by Lowell Ponte also has Bustamante connected to the MEChA.
Fresno State's Website mentions Bustamante's MEChA association in the 12th paragraph.
The slogan of MEChA is: Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada (For the Race, everything. For those outside the Race, nothing).

Aztlan is "The Place of Reeds", the Aztec point of origin in their migration to Tenochtitlan. There is ZERO evidence pointing to it being anything but a quasi-mythological region north-west of modern Mexico City. Certainly not anywhere close to the southwestern U.S., an area with no Aztec presence at the time of the Conquest, or any evidence of the Aztecs even knowing a damned thing about the region.
