13. I would add that the polls show the public is on our side
The senate Dems up for recall live in fairly Dem districts - logically, after an election-day "wipeout," that's pretty much all that's left. If the momentum is on our side, 15,000 legit sigs will be nearly impossible. Hell, if the polling is right, it would be impossible even in swing districts.

On the other hand, Dems only need to take 3 of the 8 pukes out. There are more than three who represent swing districts. And I think one or two live in districts that vote for Dems in every other office. So they are holding on by their fingernails.
