political considerations is not the basis upon which you should be critiquing the moral validity of this recall drive.

Whoever questioned the moral validity of this effort? Look, I assume that we all want positive change. I assume that we all care about democracy. I assume that we all want to hold leaders to high standards of truth. Let's not mistake disagreements over strategy and tactics with disagreements over goals.

If the issue is political gain from strategy then let me suggest that when the first recall effort in history that qualified against a California statewide elected office holder that this will send shockwaves through the nation.

I argue that is good for Bush and the Republicans.

You assume the recall won't succeed in your point #1. The recall needs to have signatures from only 6% of all registered voters (12% of those who voted in the last election and only 1/2 the registered voters turned out) to qualify.

If you believe recall organizers cannot get 6% of the state's registered voters to sign a petition against a man with a 74% disapproval rating then you are seriously underestimating the strength of our organizational efforts thus far.
