Calif. — In a prelude to the first debate in the recall election, a relaxed Gov. Gray Davis said Wednesday that the effort to oust him had been an awakening and that he was now fighting hard to keep his job and repair the state’s problems. Davis said he had not acted soon enough to deal with the state’s energy crisis and pledged to stay in better touch with voters. “I understand people are angry. I understand that peo ple’s lives are not as good as they were two years ago,” Davis said. The first debate among the leading candidates to replace Davis put the spotlight on front runners Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who wasn't participating. The two could easily become the target for oth ers looking to improve their position in the race. “I think Arnold is taking a huge risk,” said Raphael Sonenshein, a political scientist at California State University, Fullerton. “If the other candi dates are shrewd they can define his non-participation as a dis qualifying issue.” Davis appeared for 30 min utes before a panel of journalists chosen by the organizers, fol lowed by a 90-minute debate between the leading contenders to replace him. The five participating candi dates were Bustamante, the only prominent Democrat running as a replacement candidate; state Sen.

As Schwarzenegger worked the crowd, the egg splattered on the back of his left shoulder. An California. aide tried to wipe it off, but he simply peeled off his coat and went ahead with his speech. Schwarzenegger has agreed to participate in only one debate, on Sept. 24, in which the questions will be provided to candidates in advance — unlike Wednesday’s debate. That decision has drawn criti cism from Republicans and Democrats alike. Schwarzenegger’s absence fit into his. paign strategy of appearing in public ii trolled settings where he avoids protracted; tinning from reporters, and critics have said! not attending because he cannot see the tions in advance.
