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.

Riddle me this, of the 2 out of thousands that were thrown out, how many of them were thrown out due to efforts directly and unabashedly funded by political oponents?? This current recall isn't a uprising of the grass roots californians, its a callous attempt to undermine civil governance.

Remember, there are a lot of liberals with money in California, and you better damn well believe they will in the future just be knawing at the bit if they so much as smell the ability to remove a republican from power.... this is not the way republics do business.. Gray Davis is a horrible governor, but everyone knew that in the last election and he won anyway... and frankly Republicans in california have no one to blame but themselves for that.

The recall is happening, and nothing is going to change that, but believe me, between the nonsense that was Florida in 2000, and now this follow up crap in Cali, we are indeed moving closer and closer to barbarians at the gate, than simple civil discourse.
