I think ultimately that’s what bothers the elites, including Republican Party leaders and folks like the Business Roundtable. They have grown used to elections being a fairly private affair among insiders, who anoint the favorites and control the money that’s the lifeblood of modern campaigning. The recall is messy, it’s risky, it’s scary. Most of all it’s unpredictable. Who knows what the people will do? The insiders simply can’t accept this.

Pretty good summation. I can see merit to both sides, but for me there is an irreducable bottom line- people who hold office need to be accountable to the people they serve. They are not Kings, or Princes, or Bishops- they are servants of the citizens, and if enough citizens want them out, they need to be replaced.

A successful recall can resonate across the Nation!
