Recall? What's the use?
Gray Davis will just get re-elected in the recall run-off.
Damned if anyone will vote for Bill Simon "Corporate Lackey" after what happened during that last election.

Most of the blame for the state's problems stem from
Prop 13 and the asshat Howard Jarvis.
Grrr... glad I took that CA Geography course, now I know who to blame for the poor public education in CA.

At least he's not enriching himself out of the pockets of his states voters like Dubya did. Texans dislike Californians because we correctly look upon them as the Red Headed Stepchild they really are and because we don't share their state past time of executing or electing retards.

he crapped in his drawers... now he has to sit in it.

(and things are so screwed up that nobody else would be able to fix it immediately).

If the Recall succeedes then a special election will be held where anybody can be on the ballot... but the parties can only have one electee... and the democrats probably wont choose Gray Davis..... and the republicans probably wont choose Bill Simon...

Thanks to davis and his budget cuts, they had to cut $7 million from my school districts budgets. Which means less teachers, less food, no fieldtrips, no new supplies, etc

Shouldn't we be turning our attention to Iraq? That's what the media wants us to do so stop this California thing and talk about Bush again. Talk about how he didn't lift a finger to help Californians when we had the power crisis. I bet if it was Texas or Florida, he'd give huge amounts of Federal Aide.

Who knows... if he helped California then that would be brownie points for the next Election in CA for Governor and Prez......

I lived in California back when this moron was elected in '98. I knew that he was an idiot back then, but ended up winning the election by outspending the other guy on attack ads. :disgust:

paraphrasing what the Republicans have been saying since 2001
For the last time, Bill Simon lost in 2002. Get over it.

No. I am in CA. I don't like Gray Davis. But he was elected. The Republicans blew it, and now they want a second chance.

I would support a recall if something new showed up. But we just had an election, and nothing new has happened since. They are trying to recall Davis for what happened before the eleciton and was well known then. The voters voted for Davis over Simon knowing all about the energy crisis. Republicans in their self righteous arrogance are telling CA that voters that they made a mistake by reelecting Davis, without presenting any new evidence that wasn't well known during the election.

so if gray davis gets california into a power crisis it's bush's fault for not solving it?
