LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Presidential candidate Howard Dean Saturday urged Californians to vote against the effort to oust Gov. Gray Davis, calling it part of a plan by right-wing Republicans to subvert democracy.

"I think this is the fourth attempt to undermine democracy in this country by the right wing of the Republican Party since the 2000 elections," said Dean.

. Hillary comes the closest, but not close enough (and she has yet to throw her hat in the ring).

If I remember correctly, Hillary's favorability number never gets much above 40%. That's not enough to win an election.

I have never heard that there were attempts to recall Reagan when he was Governor.

Any sources?

Media Employment Report Cover-up: 150,000 New Jobs Added August

The press has been saturated since Friday morning with misleading reports claiming that the number of jobs held by Americans declined by nearly 100,000 in August. However, the actual jobs statistic used by the Labor Department to measure the unemployment rate showed just the opposite - with the economy adding almost 150,000 new jobs.

No, I think it was on FOX. "California has tried various recalls 81 times. Twice they tried to recall Reagan."
I'll try to find something if you wish.

Here's one attempt. I know the guy said 2. I'll keep trying.

California history full of recall attempts

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- He was California's governor and hoped to be his party's next nominee for president or vice president. His slim chances were dashed when activists who didn't like him, his tax increases or his plans to cut school and health care funds mounted a campaign to recall him from office.

At first, politicians from the opposing party kept their distance from the campaign. No past attempt to recall a governor had succeeded. The recall seemed to have legs, however, and by June his supporters were worried.

The scenario may sound familiar. But the target was actually Republican Gov. Ronald Reagan and the year 1968.

Several governors prior to Reagan and all who followed have been the subjects of recall drives in California. Most drives fizzled fast. A 1940 attempt against Democrat Culbert Olson and the 1968 campaign against Reagan went far but still fell short of qualifying for a special election.

Thirty-five years later, a campaign to oust second-term Democratic Gov. Gray Davis is gaining momentum. What worries the governor's supporters is that this campaign, unlike earlier ones, is financed by a multimillionaire congressman who wants to replace Davis as governor.

Dean criticize Bush for cutting taxes and defending the country. What's his plan? Enslavement? Seizure of private property? Communist revolution? Mass murder? They haven't told us.

A huge deficit, and a welfare state in Iraq. Republican's screamed bloody murder for politician's doing that in the United States, yet in typical fashion give Bush a free pass. How many free passes are you folk's planning on giving Bush.

Better than starting the never ending social programs here, that's for sure. Hillary health care would be a disaster we'd be paying for for generations!
I'll happily pay for national security, and the heck with spending here. Iraq will go away, but the leeching, gluttenous, infected liberals keep eating!!

Yes and 69 percent of American's believe that Saddam was responsible for 9/11. I'm sure you hope they vote.

Make that 70%, and yes. All pro-American patriots should vote. Don't you agree?

? Down is up. Up is down. In is out. Out is in. NOW I get it.

Nothing personal, but you do seem a little confused. Been drinking?

[concerned about politics]

Wow. Doe's the truth mean NOTHING to you CAP?

What truth? So far I've seen Bush bashing, but no logic.
