That's what a recall procedure SHOULD be about. There aren't even any hints of
malpractice here, just a popularity contest that looks like it will revolve
entirely around name recognition value. The Republicans, emboldened by their
successful theft in Florida have found yet a new way to subvert the democratic
electoral process.
Arnold's proven management & economic skills are exactly what?


We just went through this at the local level here in Plumas County, CA,
where a bunch of rightist, selfproclaimed law 'n' order afficiandos
sought to remove from office our district supervisor, who was guilty of
attempting to uphold the _law_ and who had helped bring "alternative
events" (read, High Sierra Music Festival) to our region.

The recallistos lost at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio, having set our tiny area
back over $12K to pay for a recall attempt a few months ahead of the
regular election, while schools and every other important programs here
starve for funds.

We mamaged to retain the only PC supervisor with that necessary second
brain cell. He sits on a board with four monocelled gents.
