Please don't bother to ping me to your trash threads.
This certainly was not worthy of posting at FR, IMO.
I don't know about you, but I don't want Arnold to sit as Governor for another five years. If the RP isn't going to challenge the guy in the primaries, I do support the public doing it on their own.
When Arnold first ran, it was my opinion that come hell or high water, he or a worse leftist would win. I know other disagreed on this, and I don't really want to fight that battle again in the here and now.
I do think the public might be primed to understand why installing a popular unknow is a bad idea. Hopefully they got that out of their system and another bold unknown would be seen as just that.
In that environment, a well known person with solid fiscal and social polices such as a Tom McClintoc might be acceptable to the public.
I don't see how another recall could hurt us worse than five more years of Arnold or four more years of his challenger this fall.
Perhaps you see the recall process as flawed and never wanted to see it in the first place. At this point I'm not convinced a recall of Schwarzenegger would be worse than this alternative.
You were here already, weren't you?
