The consensus among the Golden State's political elite is that the recall of Gov. Gray Davis is a catastrophe. It's easy to understand why the Democrats hate the recall; their man is being ousted. But conservative Republicans hate the recall, too. The national Republican Party has been surprisingly silent, fueling speculation that they'd prefer to watch Davis twist in the wind, buffeted about by a lackluster economy, record budget deficits and Draconian cuts in public services. Conservative columnist William Safire, a gleeful Davis critic, opined that Californians should behave like adults and live with their gubernatorial mistake until his natural term expires. Even Jay Leno, who knows a joke when he sees one, jibed, ``How dumb is California? People in Florida are laughing.''
