This Recall is worse than a defeat for Democrats
It is another serious blow to our form of government, and if you ask me, the very fact this recall is taking place at all is an indictment of our educational system.
Our country was not founded on absolute majority rule, but rather on majority rule with very careful protections for minority rights. Our government, and system of selecting our leaders, was set up by our founding fathers, to insulate politicians as much as possible, from they daily ebb and flow of public opinion so that they could make the tough decisions that would inevitably be required. Recalls, and other such nonsense were specifically not included in the constitution for these very reasons. They knew elected leaders would be paralyzed every time they have to make a tough decision if they knew they could be removed from office for it.
