10. Anti-tobacco Gray Davis may have been their first target

The ginned-up California energy crisis that ultimately took Davis down may have been just the catalyst, the excuse, that got everything moving.

In September 2002, Governor Davis signed bills to ensure age verification was obtained for cigarettes and other tobacco products sold over the Internet or through the mail, ensured that all state taxes are being fully paid on tobacco purchases and increased the penalty for possessing or purchasing untaxed cigarettes. He also signed legislation to expand smoke-free zones around public buildings.

The 2003 Gray Davis recall was successful, in part, because of the "Recall Gray Davis Committee," organized by Republican political consultant Sal Russo.

Sal Russo, armed with his famous 'mailing list', went on to co-found the Tea Party Express and sits on a huge double super secret background pile of PAC money.
