DescriptionLt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, the lone high-level Democrat running to replace Gov. Gray Davis should he be recalled on Oct. 7, went on national TV Sunday to accuse Davis's aides of sabotaging his effort to offer a Democratic alternative to California voters.

"If some of the governor's minions would stop trying to undercut my efforts, I think we could have a very coalesced opportunity for Democrats ... and we have a possibility of having a win-win position on the ballot," Bustamante said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Bustamante's chief strategist, Richie Ross, went further, saying Democratic donors and activists were being pressured by the Davis camp to withhold support from Bustamante.
