Gray Davis Charm Offensive

The Washington Post reports that Davis Turns On a Charm Offensive

Shadowed by the threat of being thrown out of office in a historic recall vote, Davis is constantly bounding into public view these days to court stalwart but disenchanted Democratic constituencies across the state with a relentless, and rare, charm offensive.

Among other charming give-aways, Gray Davis

is reversing position on other divisive issues -- saying, for example, that he now supports giving driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, which delights Latino leaders

But most other California voters, I suspect, would consider that sort of "charm" offensive.
