ya know, it's still possible that he'll resign today.

If Davis was a team player, and note that that's a really big "if", he'd resign, make Bustamente Governor, and render the whole recall moot. I suspect, however, that he'll go out as easily as Ouday and Qusay Hussien did.

Yeah but that would only have worked PRIOR to the recall being certified (the 1.6 million signatures deal). But you're right, he's certainly not a team player.

Wow, how many times does this have to be explained over and over again?

That's NOT how the law reads. He can't resign now and save the office. That's been refuted in this very thread several times.

FYI From the California Election Code available on line.

11302. If a vacancy occurs in an office after a recall petition is filed against the vacating officer, the recall election shall nevertheless proceed. The vacancy shall be filled as provided by law, but any person appointed to fill the vacancy shall hold office only until a successor is selected in accordance with Article 4(commencing with Section 11360) or Article 5 (commencing with Section 11380), and the successor qualifies for that office.

11382 (c) No person whose recall is being sought may be a candidate to succeed himself or herself at a recall election nor to succeed any other member of the same governing board whose recall is being sought at the same election.
