I would presume having worked on a recall in AZ in the '80s. That's interesting. Who were you recalling, and did you succeed? Have any war stories to tell about the tactics employed by you and your opposition?

Evan Mecham, the Republican, crazy Mormon governor. It was fun. Lot's of irate Mormons and others trying to hassle us when we gathered the signatures and a near riot when we took the signatures to the state capital to turn them in. The recall gave the state legislature the backbone to eventually impeach and convict him.
