really though - do most californians acutally want the recall? I'd say most don't even care.
And yes this was funded by a wealthy republican - who isn't in it for himself BUT what he really really wants is to see Davis out and only Davis out - he would've run if Arnold didn't, and now he isn't as is Riordan to hopefully be able to prevent a split of votes so Arnold is given a much higher chance of winning instead of a Dem or other group
Oh and its not exactly the best part of the constitution, only 18 states acutally have the ability to recall.
This isn't exaclty what I'd say is a good precedent - because now, suddenly, every governor in states where recalsl are allowed will suddenly be subject to it whenver people get pissed even slightly - if the next gov't fucks up in CA in anyway you bet many people will try to get him recalled as well.
Not very good IMO - and pretty shitty part of the constitution of the state (one which hasnt' been used by any state in 80 years... until now)
And for those who live outside CA... i seirously wanna say : just stop saying who you'd vote for, because you don't acutally live here to know what people really are thinking other than a few outraged people - the real bulk of voters still have differing opinions
