Reply #3: Delay the election until March?

People will be shooting each other in the streets by then! It will be like the worst television series you've ever seen, and you think it should have been canceled at the first commercial break, but no.

On the other hand, the more time this takes to unfold, the more the backlash will build against Issa and his stupid idea to finance this recall. Since Issa's already hustled his ass out of the race, the only recourse for people to let him know how little they think of his stupid idea will be to vote against it. There's also the possibility that by next spring, word will have gotten out that the budget "crisis" isn't nearly as bad as the Repukes would like the average Californian to believe.
