Here it finally is, after all the waiting for this wonderful populist exercise in the California constitution to come to fruition, GO HERE; http://www.graydavisrecall.com/

Many more than 900,000 people voted AGAINST Davis in the election, and that was before he proposed the varied unbelieveably short sighted tax increases. This is on! Getting CA's economy straightened out directly helps GWB defeat the Demos nationally in '04, but sorry these petitions are only for those in the Golden State. Make this happen, FReep this site!

He's not a well-liked person in this state by just about anybody either politically or personally," said Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters


How did he get re-elected? Vote Fraud?

Last night, O'Reilly approached this recall with exactly the same question I've had since I first heard about it. What has changed since Davis won the election, fair and square, only 3 months ago?

If you answer the first question by citing his proposed tax increases, don't you people have a legislature to keep him in check? Weren't they just elected, too?

But

beat Simon by 5 percentage points

Not really narrow, IMO. This does seem to point out, though, what a terrible candidate Simon must have been.

Assuming this effort is successful, what happens then? Who is the chief executive while awaiting the choice of a new governor? I assume another election for governor takes place. Who might the candidates be? Do the repubs have anyone with a ghost of a chance in a general election?

You know what, the people of California are getting what they deserve. They knew this clown was incompetent when they re-elected him in November. But they did it anyway. Probably because he is sufficently pro-abortion. Nothing else matters in this state.

The California Teachers Association is running radio ads whining about possible changes in the class-size rules. Pete Wilson (a Republican) reduced class sizes to 20 kids for grades k-3 as one of the last things he did before leaving office. Great idea. But who do you suppose the CTA endorsed when Wilson left? That's right - the Democrat. And who did the CTA endorse in November? Their guy won, and now they are being stabbed in the back by him. As I say, sometimes you get what you deserve.

To my mind, there is a lot of poetic justice in requiring Gray Davis to at least attempt to clean up the mess that was created by his own inept management. Frankly, it wouldn't have been fair to require Bill Simon to (try) to clean up this mess. I say try, because it is a hopeless task given the composition of the state legislature.

Davis and the Dems in the legislature will flail about for a couple of years, and then the GOP will actually have a chance of regaining some power. But it takes a bad Dem Governor occasionally to remind the voters why the usually elect a Republican. As I say, you get what you deserve.

Too bad its going to cost so darn much.
