I took a ride in Mr Peabody's Way-Back Machine -- back to the ancient days of August 1 -- and found this article in the California Insider archives:
In the most explosive comments yet aimed at Davis by a fellow Democrat, Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer tells the Sacramento Bee that “prominent Democrats” will leave Davis for Riordan if the governor runs another of his famous negative campaigns.
"If they do the trashy campaign on Dick Riordan ... I think there are going to be prominent Democrats that will defect and just say, 'We're tired of that puke politics. Don't you dare do it again or we're just going to help pull the plug.' There is a growing list of prominent Democrats that, if that's how it evolves, are going to jump ship."
But I guess "puke politics" against Arnold is OK, Mr Attorney General? Just as long as Davis' fingerprints aren't all over the scene?
(And by the way, where's Riordan been in all this campaign ... time for him to take a swing at Davis, I think.)
UPDATE: Lockyer has gotten back the ol' time religion and has signed on to the puke brigade. See PrestoPundit
Why don't you try emailing him to ask... It might be an easy guess to go for:
