California Democrats have decided to harness the power of organized labor in defense of Governor Davis. Perversely, it's my guess that a strong labor turnout could put Ward Connerly's "Racial Privacy Initiative" - scheduled to appear on the same ballot as the recall - over the top in a tight campaign. I suppose the left can't win 'em all.
Of course, neither can civil libertarians. This reminds me of the time we generated massive conservative turnout to oppose a gun control initiative in Washington State, accidentally sinking a medical marijuana measure on the same ballot.
