Which leads me to one question...

WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS THINKING WHEN YOU GUYS RE-ELECTED DAVIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?

I mean, come on guys! Think! After the whole California power crisis fiasco, you should have figured out that this bozo didn't have the required skills to govern a state in the first place. Why did it take Californians another two years to finally realize that this guy is incompetent?

I think if Riordan ran instead of Simon, he would of beaten Davis.

Hell anyone but Simon could have beaten Davis.

agree if anyone but simon have run in that election i would have voted for that anyone but davis but between simon and davis i choce a davis and i i am in support of the relecal because he was elected and i think he should server the term of his election

This is my first time reading anything about this recall at all. I guess i don't have much interest in CA Politics.


Can someone explain to me briefly on WHAT constitutional basis the people of CA are recalling their governer??

If we could do that here in NJ i'd love to recall our POS of a governer. i'm sure davis can't be as bad as Governer McGreevy. OMG this guy sux.

IMO, you Californians don't seem to know what you want. I think you will probably just spend a lot of money and not have any result whatsoever. 😉

It won't do anything. They only difference that will make is that instead of raising taxes to pay for all the spending, the republicans will just pretend like nothing is happening, not raise taxes, and let the state bankrupt itself, just like they let Republican stronghold Orange county bankrupt itself a few years back.
Besides, if Republicans manage to recall a Democrat in a Democrat state, it will take 5 mins for the Democrats to recall the Republican who takes his place.

It's in their state constitution. I'm guessing it's not in ours (NJ's). I'm not sure that we would use it if it was though. McGreevy sucks, but even his approval ratings are (slightly) higher than Davis's. 🙂

just need to gather signatures and we can put out initiatives and of course, recall 🙂

What if a majority of people vote to recall Davis, yet more people vote to keep him than to appoint any of the other candidates, like if there is a split vote in the second part of the ballot. Then more people would have voted for Davis than for either of the other candidates, yet he has to give up his job to a guy who got less votes than him? Seems undemocratic and flawed to me.

No, you go back to the polling place and say you don't want him recalled. The measures so far is just to get the recall election up.

Well, if > 50% vote to recall him, then he DOES deserve to be recalled, even if they are split as to who should replace him. Ideally, it would be two separate votes one to recall him, one to decide his replacement. Or, if he is recalled and no one has a majority of the vote, have a run-off election. My understanding is that if you vote to keep him in office, you can't vote for who his replacement should be, IF he is recalled. That's not really right, because that prevents the democrats from offering an alternative to Davis.

on the second question, who ever has the most votes win. So lts say person 1 has 5% person 2 has 7% and person 3 has 10% of the votes person 3 wins

Grey Davis is a retard homobasket.

Some jacknut on Venice beach was petitioning a few weeks go to cancel the recall. I told him to shove his objection up his ass.

Hopefully Arnold will get in office. He has good ideas and knows what he's doing, at least on paper. That's more than can be said for Gay Davis.

But what if Davis gets 49% of the votes, and the 5 alternatives each get around 10%.
Then Davis gets defeated even though he whooped all their @sses, and the guy getting 11% wins?

let me try to explain it agen

question 1 will be , do u want to recal davis yes or no. which choice has the greatest vote wins.If no wins end of election, they will not even look at question 2

If the result of question 1 after the count of all ballet yes wins then they go to question 2 were davis name is not listed

Wow, your homophobic references really drive across the point that you're a dissatisfied Republican in CA.

Yes, but that means that Davis needs 50% to win, while the guy trying to unseat him only has to finish second behind Davis, regardless of how many votes, as long as Davis doesn't get 50%.

no davis just need to have more votes for no then yes, from what i read. question 1 don't require any majority just who ever has more votes win. So technically davis don't need 50% to win and if he get recall then davis name is not on replacement list
