"I heard on FNC last night that the dems could say OK to recall but not OK for any candidates to be on ballot, therefore if recall succeeds the Lt. Gov will become the gov and if the recall does not succeed, Davis will still be gov. That way they get a dem either way. Could this really happen?"

No way, no how. Check California law. Once the recall process starts (and it has already), it goes through to election if enough qualified signatures are collected, and they have collected twice as many signatures as needed.

Davis can not be on the ballot. If there are a majority of votes to dump Davis, he is out, and the person on the ballot with the most votes immediately becomes gov.

If the Dems don't put anyone on the ballot then a Republican is sure to win. If Davis quits, the election still goes on. The Lt Gov is acting gov only until the results of the election are certified.

Thank you for the information. I thought it sounded unfair but of course we all know the dems are both unfair and illegal in their election dealings.
