Not only is the "Yes" vote higher than Arnold's, so is Davis's vote.
More people apparently want to retain Davis as Governor than want to have Arnold as Governor.
But because Davis is not allowed to be a candidate to succeed himself, it doesn't mean anything.
California is a strange place.

Votes for Arnold are still higher than the 'no on recall' vote, which could be translated as 'yes on Davis' vote..
It's a bit facinating to see that the combined vote for Arnold and Tom exceed the yes on recall vote by 192,878 votes as of the last update.

You're looking at percentages, and turnout this election is much higher. Schwarzenegger will probably get a million more votes than Davis did last year. But because Davis is not allowed to be a candidate to succeed himself, it doesn't mean anything.
Impeached Presidents can't succeed themselves either. A recall is the equivalent of an Impeachment by the electorate. It's purpose is removal.

I think you are misreading the numbers. Arnold has consistently been ahead of Davis all night. As I write this (with 58.3% of the precincts reporting) there are 2,023,621 "No-on-recall" votes (to retain Davis) but 2,104,380 votes in favor of Schwarzenegger.
If Davis could haved beed listed as a candidate, he'd still be losing to Arnold.

What's strange and downright bizarre is your type of extremely twisted thinking.
The reality is very plain and simple:
More people wanted Davis OUT. They had a pot pourri to select from to replace him. By far, Schwarzenegger received the vast vast majority in that selection process.
