This is certainly one of the most amazing stories of the year - the Governor of mighty California is going to face a recall election in late Sept. or the first Tues. of Oct. The best opinion on this I have heard is from a Democratic activist who pointed out how the combination of the potency of incumbency and fundraising skills had led the Democrats to nominate a pretty shoddy Governor like Gray Davis whom nobody was particularly crazy about, and then led California to elect him over a guy nominated by the Republicans who probably would have been an even more shoddy Governor and whom people liked even less.
Of course, California Democrats, instead of doing the wise thing and trying to get a solid candidate in there are rallying around the sinking ship.....

Gray Davis from office qualified for the ballot Wednesday, clearing the way for a campaign unlike any other in California history. _______________________________________________________ John D.
