Davis said he spoke to Schwarzenegger by phone and offered his support during the transition to a new administration.

''I am calling on everyone in this state to put the chaos and the division of the recall behind us and do what's right for this great state of California,'' he said.

As Davis spoke Schwarzenegger's name, people in the crowd said ''Recall! Recall!'' But Davis held up his hand and said ''No, no.''

Schwarzenegger declared victory during a celebration at the Century Plaza Hotel, where he was introduced by Jay Leno, host of ''The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,'' where he announced his candidacy just two months ago.

''I came here with absolutely nothing, and California has given me absolutely everything. And today, California has given me the greatest gift. You have given me your trust for voting for me,'' he said, surrounded by his wife, Maria Shriver, mother-in-law Eunice Shriver, and other Shriver and Kennedy relatives.

''I will do everything I can to live up to that trust. I will not fail you, I will not disappoint you, and I will not let you down.''

With 46 percent of precincts reporting, the recall was favored by 2,054,227 voters, or 54.3 percent, and opposed by 1,728,764, or 45.7 percent.
1. That's very professional and curteous of Davis. Shows good character.
2. That's very honest and admirable from Arnold. Shows good character.
Let's just hope CA can turn its economy around.
