As signature collection ends, Gov. Newsom heads toward recall election(What a colossal failure)

A plodding, months-long review kicks off Wednesday to confirm what appears inevitable: California Gov. Gavin Newsom will face a recall election that could oust the Democrat before his first term ends.

Recall organizers believe Newsom and leaders in the Democratic-run Legislature will do everything possible to delay the election, hoping that his fortunes turn as virus cases fall, vaccinations increase and schools and businesses reopen.

“They can’t win at the ballot box. The only way they can win is to delay the system and delay the process,” said recall senior adviser Randy Economy.

Newsom’s popularity has tumbled in recent months as public unrest spread over long-running school and business closures, a still-unfolding unemployment benefits scandal and his decision to attend a party with friends and lobbyists at an opulent restaurant while telling residents to stay home.

Hile moved from San Diego to the Sacramento area to be closer to family after she struggled to simultaneously take care of her 1-year-old while helping her 7-year-old navigate virtual learning at home. Montgomery, 31, also a mother of two, put her 5-year-old son in a private school so he could attend in-person classes, straining the family budget.

Newsom “gave nobody any options to survive this,” Hile lamented. “He cut you off from everything and it literally was like sink or swim.”

He richly deserves it.

I hope he gets recalled, but it's no automatic, since he has the deck stacked in his favor in the CA electorate. How many of his own voters did he anger?

Two Republicans have announced their candidacies: Kevin Faulconer, the former Republican mayor of San Diego, and Republican businessman John Cox, who was defeated by Newsom in 2018.

Both are grifters and never got into the race until just recently for their own expediency.

Grover has been all over the state doing the real work of meeting   Californians.

I have seen him and his wife at rallies everywhere and he even helped collect signatures.

Rosevile to Gilroy. 

Mountainview to Livermore.

Sacramento to Fresno

Los Angeles to Palm Springs.

He is the real deal and works tirelessly campaigning and explaining how government and business works and why should understand these things.

The fact that AB5 was repealed in an initiative helps him, because less voters will be angered about that. But are there enough Dem voters who were hurt by AB5, to hurt him?

Newsom singlehandedly sent the economy of California into a tailspin for all the wrong reasons. 😒😑🙄 Especially since the most populous part of the state is below the critical 37° North latitude line for people to get enough Vitamin D from daily Sun exposure year-round.

A plodding, months-long review kicks off Wednesday to confirm what appears inevitable...

I don't recall anyone in the MSM referring to the years-long "Russia Russia Russia" hoax as "plodding."

More bias. Every story, every sentence marinated in bias.

"Send this story back to the writer, there's still a few sentences that could be injected with more bias."

Well, Mr. Economy, didn't Joe Xiden's handlers teach you that they can create as many mail-in ballots as necessary to achieve the desired electoral outcome?

Don’t be so sure. There’s no personal loyalty to him. There won’t be a lack of Democrats in the race, who will also be happy to direct the electorate’s frustrations on Newsom. When Davis was recalled and Schwarzenegger elected there were around 125 candidates in the ballot

Yes, but Davis increased auto registration that killed him. He was hurting his own base.

Newsom has done some bad things, but nothing quite as fatal as tripling auto registration.

I believe there were 100-120 candidates mostly Republicans on
the David recall.

A Republican White male former police officer?
Exactly asymptotic to zero chance.
