The other night I dreamt of knives

Must. Comment.
The head of the California Republican Party is live on Today right now, and has just cried and declaimed what an awful job Gray Davis has done; his first and primary complaint is that the state started with a $10m surplus and is now in a $39m deficit. And that, friends, is grounds for recalling a publically elected official. I wonder if anybody else falls under this criterium.....

There will be no commenting about the fact that, despite there being 320987432874 candidates on the ballot, only two people representing two parties (Well. One.) are allowed to comment.

I think you'll find that I'm on record as being against the recall. That being said, a lot of people are voicing dissatisfaction and there's a legitimate case for doing so.

Does the legislature share responsibility? Of course it does. But the governor sets the tone by proposing the budget. The governor approves the budget into law by signing it.

Does Davis *deserve* a recall? No, I don't think so. Does that matter? No, not really. A recall is occurring.

Are you planning on visiting the polling booths on election day? Since the recall is happening, will you vote for it since Davis is a boob?

Since we are having a recall election, I will definitely vote; I haven't fully decided how I'm going to vote.

I didn't vote for any gubernatorial candidate in the previous election. But since we're having a recall whether or not I personally like it, I have a bit of trouble voting in favor of keeping Davis in office.

It's also pretty safe to bet I wouldn't vote for Cruz Bustamonte. He's the prototypical California Democrat, the kind of unctuous career politician that shares the blame for our current disgusting mess.
