Can Bubba Save Gray Davis?

Call it Bill Clinton's Last Hurrah.

Clinton remains extremely popular among the state's Democrats -- possibly the drawing card Gray Davis needs to save his political skin. The Los Angeles Times poll today shows the beleaguered governor still with 45 per cent of the likely voters.

It's hard to believe that Clinton's charisma and popularity isn't strong enough still to attract the votes that would carry even an uncharismatic and unpopular Davis over the hump

For Clinton, it is a win-win situation. If Davis happens to withstand the recall, credit would have to go to Clinton's campaigning. If Davis loses, as polls indicate he will, Clinton will have one big IOU from the state's Democratic Party to deliver to wife Hillary as she continues to amass support for the party's presidential nomination in 2008.
