You're a great Californian, Wolfstar, even if you don't live in the despicable Schwarzenrenegger's Sierra-Nevada CONservancy like I now have to... (spit!)
Thanks for your very kind comments, SierraWasp. I'm hoping Arnold doesn't bother to run again. He opportunistically jumped into the recall because he knew it would be an easy campaign. No primary, so he didn't have to try to woo Republican voters all that much. Maybe the prospect of facing a primary might deter him from running again.
