This recall would not have happened in other states

Other states make it illegal to pay people to collect signatures. Darell Issa would never have made a name for himself...

1. Most states don't have a recall and those that do set the bar

a lot higher.

Considering that, I was actually surprised to find out that this was the 31st recall attempt in California and the first one that even made it to the ballot.

2. I still think that the idea of the recall process is fundamentally good

Despite right-wing power grabs.

Let's face it, though --- The Governator is not a hardcore wingnut... He might actually be tolerable to work with.

3. California should make it illegal, also, IMHO.

Davis will be in office for about a month.
