"What should be done?" That is up to y'all. In my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion, I think the CEO of the seventh largest economy in the World deserves a majority vote of those voting.

How many runoffs will it take? As many as it takes. What else is more important than choosing a good CEO? Y'all figure it out.

Personally I favor the instant runoff. I could vote

1. McClintock
2. Arnold

and Arnold would probably win, but in the "runoff" phase.

The problem with your approach -- "as many [runoffs] as it takes" -- is that it leaves the already-decided-to-be-recalled Governor paralyzed and, if not without power, certainly without influence. That's not good for the state, IMO.
