hal, you put the wrong spin on that percentage figure of yours. you're not considering the fact that there are other candidates. now, if Arnold was the ONLY candidate running for the recall, then you could spin it that way.
look at it this way. after 75% of the precincts reported in, 2,762,000 voted yes on recall. of those that voted yes OR no 2,320,000 voted for Arnold. then if you add up the rest of the votes towards the other candidates, you'll see it's pretty much equal to the amount of people that voted no on the recall.
Davis did NOT get 46% of the votes. most of those votes just went to those who complain that this sets an ugly precedent and just voted for someone else in case the recall did go through.
