Any plan to have a recall vote when the person in office gets 49% and so is kicked out but then the winner of the election only needs 34% is unfair, unjust to the electorate. I hope Davis stays in office. He won't fix things. The Democrats will then face a real election in a couple of years and hopefully have messed up the state so bad a conservative republican will be possible for victory.

Arnold is just a trojan horse for the Kennedy clan and the democrats.

Looks like Davis will stay in power and we republicans should be rejoicing if he does.

As a tax-paying Californian I thank you for your empathy and compassion for our situation.

The recall amendment was passed in 1911 specifically to allow us to protect ourselves and I'm happy if we can avail ourselves of that Constitutional right.

Nah, think of the Recall as the moral equivalent of Impeachment by the electorate. It's meant to happen fast so that the state won't be paralyzed. That's why there is no runoff. The voters understand this when they vote one way or the other on the recall.

I heard ealier on the radio that there have been 31 attempts in California to recall a governor. This is the first time a recall effort has even made it to the ballot

Looks fair to me.

Your mileage may vary.

(I agree with your reasoning on the state needing to bottom out before real change happens. Pretty hard on the grass, though...)

Who do you work for, the ACLU? (laughs)

I wouldn't be surprised if they file suit immediately after the election using this _exact_ argument as the crux of their case!
