If you’re in the LA area, opposed to the Schwarzengroper, and have some time to spare tomorrow, there’s need for Get Out the Vote workers.

Things are looking grim, but not hopeless: Davis claims to have polls showing the recall a toss-up, and Schwazenegger’s people scoff but won’t say what their numbers are. Anyway, the effort has to be made.

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.
