Any plan to have a recall vote when the person in office gets 49% and so is kicked out but then the winner of the election only needs 34% is unfair, unjust to the electorate.
Nah, think of the Recall as the moral equivalent of Impeachment by the electorate. It's meant to happen fast so that the state won't be paralyzed. That's why there is no runoff. The voters understand this when they vote one way or the other on the recall. I heard ealier on the radio that there have been 31 attempts in California to recall a governor. This is the first time a recall effort has even made it to the ballot

Which begs the questions we are not hearing from any of the Talk Show/News hosts to liberals who complain that this recall is "undemocratic, illegal, or wrong." The questions are:
"Did you sign or circulate recall petitions when they were circulated against Republican Governors?"
"Have you signed or circulated any recall petitions for any other public official?"
"Why did you not make these same critical comments when Reagan or Wilson faced recall threats?"
"Did you contribute to any recall efforts?"
Actually I think it would make for an interesting FOX News (or other) segment to follow up on previous recalls and who signed/circulated the petitions, not to mention who paid for professional signature gatherers.
