By AAN Staff

The Village Voice's Rick Perlstein scours
Orange County in vain for anyone who loves Gov.
Gray Davis. He finds plenty who hate him,
though. A woman in a gated community who
shreds her mail so illegal immigrants can't
steal her identity. Surfing teenagers who
detest the car tax. A congressman who deplores
the Chinatowns springing up across the state and
"exploding in population." And a grassroots
organizer who sums up the recall initiative: "We
found an opponent with a really weak hand; we
just kept raising and raising the stakes."
