(though I only have anecdotal evidence) that the majority of the electorate accepts the idea of recall ... but the recall effort must be for a reason other than you just do not like what the duly elected successful candidate is doing politically.

I suspect, the majority of the electorate would no doubt state (and with some merit) that we already have a time tested mechanism for expressing your displeasure ... voting the legislator out at the end of their term.

I liken this issue to the "Bush ran rough-shod over Democrats during his presidency (and we didn't like it), why won't President Obama?" argument; and conclude, if you find yourself asking that question, please re-read the first part of the question.
