:beer:

I already voted by absentee ballot a while ago. 🙂
Bye Davis!
 
vote no on the recalll. the fact that a governor who was just fairly reelected by the people has to get over 50% of the vote or be beat by some twit with only as little as 18% of the vote is pitiful. it is a way for the sore loser republicans to win an election they couldn't win fairly in the first place. it is a travesty.

and don't even pretend its grass roots when signiture gatherers were bought and paid for, and only a tiny fraction of the voting population had to sign for this election fraud to start.
 
I'd rather see people get a $1 for a vote, as opposed to given the homeless smokes on your so-called "get out the vote" death campaigns waged against the homeless.

MILWAUKEE, Updated 3:12 a.m. EST November 7, 2000 -- The Democratic National Committee spent Monday trying to separate the Gore campaign from a Democratic Party fund-raiser who was discovered distributing cigarettes to homeless voters as part of a "get out the vote" campaign Saturday.

All Politicians should have accountability. It may not look good on paper but it is the only way for Citizens to express their dismay and get a new leader. It is still a vote.

Until I hear otherwise from a majority of Californians it sounds like Davis hid the bad plight of the State from the Voters before the last Election, that is not a fair Vote.

which isn't true.

but even if it were. does that mean he should be facing an unfair election where he has to gain 50% of the vote to win? yet the other guy can get by with 18%? it is a fraud. signature gettings bought and paid for by special interests, often lying about what they were getting signatures for to boot. and a pitifully small amount of signatures to get this recall started to boot. sure davis is a stick in the mud in terms of likability, but thats no reasons to get rid of him through election trickery. the republicans had their chance in a fair election not even a year ago.
 
I voted at 7am this morning:

NO on the recall.
NO on prop 53.
NO on prop 54.

The expenses involved with holding an election for all three is a big waste of tax dollars, IMO. If Arnold wins, it would be a bigger joke than Gov. Ventura, and Arnold is not likely to be anywhere near as successful as Ventura either.

OMG how many times are you going to keep spewing those lies yourself.

If Davis loses, the next competitor will NOT get only 18% of the vote okay? Yes, its possible but its' not going to happen. All because an asteroid can hit the Earth and destroy the human race, doesn't mean its going to happen, mmkay?

And anyways, if Davis loses that just means 50%+ acknowledge ANYONE is better than Davis. And don't talk about how its "unfair", its been in the California constitution for decades now yet no one complained about it. I'm sure if it was the other way around, Democrats wouldn't be complaining either. In fact, I read that Democrats are planning a recall immediately of their own if Arnold wins... way to take the high road.

Actually, I hope they do because I'm sure that its going to bite them back in the @ss.

Simply said, Davis brought this upon himself. GG Davis.
Worst governor ever.
 
Yea, I noticed that too. He's running thread-to-thread posting that nonsense as if he thought the sky were falling and somehow the GOP is behind it..."oh, no, they are going to remove my governor...help...help...cheaters...liars...conspiracy..."

Ventura didn't do a good job?

Ventura didn't screw up in any major way that I know of. He did have the benefit of presiding over Minnesota during a period of economic prosperity. He also didn't do anything close to the equivalent of becoming a "Pete Wilson" Republican as Arnold has. I respect Ventura's faithfulness to the independent cause and his honest nature (well, honest by political standards at least).

A slightly dated article on what Jesse's camp thinks of the Arnold-Ventura comparisons: link.

Not until about 9:00pm I think at earliest. More accurate results will probably be around 1am, if you're willing to stay up that late...

I voted Yes on everything.

Fox News exit polls show Arnold with 47% of the vote and McClintock with 12%... that's 60% for the top two Republicans alone out of more than 100 candidates

I'm not sure what the numbers are for the yes/no on the recall though, I'll have to get back to the TV...

edit: top two

are you saying the people, whom a majority of support the recall do not have the right to change thier mind? or as Jesse Jackson just put it on fox news tonight:

"people being unhappy is no reason to have a change of leadership"
Jesse Jackson on "Hannity and Colmes" 10/07/03

There will be far more people unhappy if the Terminator ends up as governor. Guess we'll need another recall.
