it's going to be interesting to see whether comrade grey resigns, in order to promote a fellow democrat, or, whether he hangs on until the end.

the los angeles times today quoted daryl issa as saying that davis is gone and his job for the next 100 days is to make davis' life as difficult as he can. wow!

Once the recall petition is 'filed' (there are varying interpretations on what constitutes 'filing'), it's too late. The office holder resigning doesn't stop the recall election. Based on the number of signatures turned in, I'd say Davis has, at most, until July 23, when the Secretary of State next reports the totals. I expect that he'll report that the threshold has been achieved, and the recall is on. Whatever other interpretations of 'filing' there might be, that will definitely be the end point, and there'll be a recall whether or not Davis is in office.
