Hey guys, if Arnold wins do y'all know how long does Davis have to get out of town?

The next Governor is sworn in the day after the election is certified. Davis, though has four days to tie up loose ends. Like signing some of the job killing bills he has on his desk.

Nov. 15 at the earliest, Nov. 25 at the latest (the victor has up to 10 days to take office after Davis leaves).

39 days = time to certify the election

I believe he is out as soon as the election is certified. Trouble is, democrats haven no concience, and might count them by hand for the next two years before certifying the election.
