Should Gray Davis Resign
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 01:07 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
Fist of all , let's get Bill Clinton out of the way. Bill Clinton was able to fight impeachment or the Republican putsch as I prefer to call it because he was presiding over a smoking economy and had approval ratings in the 70's.If he had an approval rating of 22% like Gray Davis he would have been toast.

Supporting Gray Davis might be the noble thing to do but it might also result in a victory for the Radical Republicans and their reputed leader, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Willie Brown, famed Dem and CA power broker believes if Davis resigns the recall becomes moot. The Sec. of State thinks differently.

I'm not a constitutional lawyer but I don't see how you can recall a man who resigned from office. I come to that conclusion by the same reasoning that you can't impeach a president who resigned from office.
How can you recall or impeach someone to remove them from office if they have resigned and effectively removed themselves.

If the Democratic street fighter Toricelli could fall on his sword and hand the mantle to his nemesis , Frank Lautenberg for the good of the party why can't Gray Davis fall on his sword and hand power to his lieutenant governor, Cruz Bustamante.

I am sure the California Democrats can find Gray a nice sinecure somewhere.
