Dave, it might have been nice if the Corzine would have given the people of NJ the choice of voting for this measure. I dont recall it being on any ballot in November.

It might be nicer if every state had a procedure to recall the governor and any state legislators that the people decided were so badly f'ing up their job that they need to be removed. Such measures in all 50 states would tremendously reduce the odds of removal via instantaneous lead poisoning.
