| Description | LOS ANGELES (AP) - Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante ended weeks of speculation Thursday by announcing he will not run for governor if a Republican-led campaign to recall fellow Democrat Gov. Gray Davis makes it to the ballot.
"I will not participate in any way other than to urge voters to reject this expensive perversion of the recall process," Bustamante said in a statement. "I will not attempt to advance my career at the expense of the people I was elected to serve."
Earlier this week, two other leading California Democrats, Attorney General Bill Lockyer and state Treasurer Phil Angelides, said they had no intention of running. U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, considered the strongest potential Democratic candidate, has not ruled out a run. |
