there are nine democrats running
It figures as the California Recall slides into a dead heat poll wise that we see — heavy partisan Democratic California (voting as it may some conservative side on primaries) that we see the one way, in this century, a Republican gets on to the governor’s seat. The Democratic attempt to save Newsome becomes a comical partisan lob — “don’t even look at the replacements.”. So it is that whereas in 2002 Cruz Bustamante received his 30 plus percent against Schwarzenegger’s 50 minus percent, the Democrats cannot possibly be so consolidated and will flicker every which way — with the Democratic Establishment running as though there is no second ballot.
So, taking a view of the Democrats running on the second “Replacement” possibility.
- Holly L. Baade, spiritual teacher and coach[123][126]

Only two candidates garner enough Wikipedia notabability for an article — the screenwriter/actor/director/speaker and the YouTuber who is a major (ahem) “landlord influencer”. (At least we know he isn’t a Maoist.)
We do see the Democratic Party Machine of Gavin Newsom has swung at bat to shut them down…
Instagram briefly removed Paffrath’s campaign announcement post from their platform. According to Paffrath, Instagram notified him that they had removed his post, in which he described Newsom as a “weanie baby”, under its harassment guidelines. Paffrath told Fox News he suspected the post was taken down intentionally, and that the removal was related to its parent company Facebook’s donations to Newsom’s causes. A Facebook spokesperson said that the company’s donations had gone towards coronavirus relief, not the governor’s campaign.[25] The Los Angeles Times has reported that such donations by Facebook and other social media companies were “behested” payments, or indirect payment’s to government causes on Newsom’s behalf.[26] Shortly after Fox News inquired about the removal of the post, it was restored, and a spokesperson said it had been removed in error.[25]
Kilpatrick they just have to do a whisper campaign that he is so very Hollowood.
Still, the Republicans running may just get splintered to the winds such that these two wikipedia notable figures just may sneak in at that 20 plus or 30 minus percent, the lazy partisan voter maybe not quite sure what they are voting for– perhaps seeing a character actor sitting there in that “don’t know the name, but recognize the face” manner.
