Los Angeles -- Gov. Gray Davis has mostly communicated with Californians as an interlocking set of interest groups, from environmentalists to union workers to families with schoolchildren. But as he faces the recall, Davis is layering on another strategy that is far more personal and a lot more angry.

After giving a combative, partisan statewide speech, Davis began Wednesday a series of "Conversations with Californians" -- essentially staged town hall meetings at which he can meet one-on-one with voters. It's a campaign strategy used by former President Bill Clinton, who is advising Davis as the Oct. 7 recall approaches.

"I have faith in God," Davis told a town hall audience here, showing a rare personal side. "I carry a little card around with me that says, 'Nothing will happen to me today that the Lord and I can't handle together.' I trust you will make a good judgment and I believe in the end, people will want me to continue my job. There are no guarantees in life."

God, as an abstarcted philospoical contruct with absolute power , is about all that is going to save Gov. Davis at this point.

He has also claimed that the recall is part of an efort of the Republicans to defeat a Democrat they couldn't beat in the elections.

I think he would do better to blame the energy traders who jacked the price of energy so high.

That revenue increased significantly more than inflation and immigration combined. That he refused to adderss workers comp while other governors were making difficult decisions.

No, I doubt there is much he can do. When you screw up as much as he did laying the blame on others just makes you look like you won't take responsibilty.

Californians want a governor who will take responsibility.

Wow, 150% of revenue! Gee and I thought that Illinois 5,000,000,000 dollars debt was staggaring, isn't CA like 23 billion in the hole?

Govenor Gary Coleman, What you talkin bout Willis!

It would be nice, but I am not going to hold my breath in anticipation. The urge that people have to be led around by the nose is strong enough that I am not anticipating a majority atheist world in my lifetime.
