...century. G.O.P. gubernatorial candidates look unbeatable in seven of the eight most populous and pivotal states: Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Michigan. A Democrat has a good shot only in California, where the bland if steady Gray Davis clings to a slim lead, though Republican Dan Lungren has closed the gap in recent days...

Aides to his primary opponent, state treasurer Matt Fong, claim the antiimmigrant rhetoric surrounding Prop. 187 left their man "greatly disturbed." Advisers to Lungren admit that he backed 187 but stress that his endorsement was late and lukewarm. As for Wilson, he didn't even attend the G.O.P.'s state convention last February, and a party strategist calls the outgoing Governor's negative image among Latinos "a huge problem...
