These recall elections are being orchestrated directly from "the top" - i.e. Obama's Organizing for America. There is precious little local involvement in the attempts to get legitimately elected Republicans booted for the sin of eliminating a $3.6 Billion deficit and balancing the state budget without raising taxes or laying off workers.
They are pulling out all the stops--outright lies in negative ads, robo calls to Republicans telling them the election is on a different day, food for votes, and direct (illegal) candidate coordination with shady third party groups
The recall areas are crawling with paid volunteers from other states, and many millions of dollars have been spent to overturn the will of the people.
