It looks as if the right-wingers who are rooting for Governor Gray Davis to be recalled in California may not like the outcome if the recall effort succeeds.

Darrell Issa, the deep-pocketed car-alarm magnate who is pushing the recall effort so that he can become governor, is a Republican -- but not, apparently, a real Republican. A compilation of Issa quotes appears in a Free Republic thread -- and it looks as if Issa is an (ick!) moderate. Some Issa quotes:

We are not going to dramatically move this state to the right. That's impossible, and it would be imprudent."

"The next governor is going to have to be moderate."

"If we were to undo [the federal assault-weapons ban], it would simply make it more of a failure."

Oh, and he might accept a tax increase.

Meanwhile, according to LA Weekly, the best-known Republican who might replace Davis -- Arnold Schwarzenegger -- "is pro-choice, pro–gay rights, pro–gun control, pro–immigrant rights, and speaks of his concern for the environment." And Warren Beatty is a friend and admirer.

Be careful what you wish for....
