Not only is that "enshrined" in CA law, but it has been challenged by Davis through the entire court system and found valid.

Here is the point -- the RECALL ballot question and the "NEW GOVERNOR" question on the ballot are seperate questions. Period.

If Californians, in compliance with the state Constitution, complete a majority vote to remove the current governor from office, then that question is settled.

Your point that Davis may lose to someone getting 35% of the vote is incorrect and is faulty logic. Davis will have lost to "NO MORE DAVIS." That is what he is _LITERALLY_ "running against."

To continue the point, _IF_ Davis is removed, then if say, Peter Camejo were to win amongst the candidates for Governor -- Camejo would *not* have "beaten Davis." He would have defeated the various 100+ other candidates but NOT Davis -- Davis is running aginst "NO MORE DAVIS." That is a proper extrapolation of the ballot.

If you don't like the State Constitution, fine. I'm guessing you don't like the USA Constitution either, since a similar argument ("how would you feel if...") could be made about the 2000 presidential election.

Your explanation is very well stated. There are two questions, not one, on the ballot regarding the Governor.

What amazes me is that here in liberal CA with all of the rabid hatred of the Left for Ronald Reagan, they could not get enough signatures to recall him. That tells you that there is tremendous disgust for Davis from the Left. I don't think people outside of the state realize the import of that.
