The 800 pound Elephant in the room (Davis fights back)
Davis Goes On The Offensive
POSTED: 4:44 p.m. PDT August 19, 2003
LOS ANGELES -- Gov. Gray Davis, taking a combative stance Tuesday in the first major address since the recall qualified for the statewide ballot, denounced the Oct. 7 vote facing him as a Republican power grab.
edit ...
"For the next seven weeks, my highest priority is to do the job you elected me to do, but make no mistake ... I will fight this recall and the right-wing forces behind it," Davis said.
edit ...
"But this right-wing power grab is something we won't get over. It would do lasting damage to our state, our environment, and the fabric of our democracy," he said.

At least this recall finally got a Democrat to talk about the rethuglican's attempt to subvert our government. I love a good fight.

4. An 800 lb elephant is pigmy
Actually, many people in California would find this a very accurate description of Davis.
