Really that's what the recall is? I am a conservative and I think the recall represents nothing more than sour grapes, and throws republican ideals out the window. Sure Davis is a horses butt, but the people of california fairly elected him (primarily because the republicans put forth probably the only person on the planet who couldn't have beat Davis in 2000)
Now with some politicians money, and some shred manipulation, the people are going to just ignore the entire concept of Representative Republicanism and relegate strictly to true DEMOCRACY.. or mob rule, hell with the rule of law, the law is whatever we decide it to be. Its nonsense.
True DEMOCRACY is an utterly flawed and failed construct, not one founding father EVER referred to this nation as a democracy, she is a republic. I don't see any long term good coming from abandoning the civil rule of law and republican politics to satiate the instant gratification desires of the mob.
Sorry guys, I really don't see this recall in the big picture as anything good.

What state do you live in, HamiltonJay?

Recall IS part of the Law, in California, at least. With 2 governors (out of 1000s) thrown out of office in our nation's history this hardly seems to be the Barbarians at the Gate scenario you paint.
While I was skeptical of the recall initially, it is going forward so there is no reason to keeping harping on its appropriateness.
