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.

Wait. What am I thinking? Giving the peasants any actual control over how a country is run...its so, so American. We can't have any of that around here.

We’re not a democracy, we’re a representative republic. The people of NJ will just have to decide what to do next time they have the chance. My observations of the voters in NJ lead me to believe that most are just fine with what the legislature is doing on this issue unless a Republican gets the majority of the popular national popular vote, and therefore, all of Jersey’s electors.
