    Only, MTG, if he does so promptly. If he forces the state to spend 50-100 million on printing and mailing, and if a number of candidates also spend millions on the election, I think a last minute switcharoo would be intoleralble and somehow the Supremes would order the election to go forward - the will of the people and all.
    The election will go forward - that is mandated in the Cal. Elec. Code once the recall petition is certified. So the money has to be spent no matter what, and that gets Davis partly off the hook. Smart money now, (from a Dem party strategist view) is to attack Issa to hell and back for forcing this additional expense on the state, because he's a bitter loser.

    Poll numbers not too long ago, of rank and file voters, had about 90% of Reps favoring recall of Davis and 50+% of Dems also favoring recall of him. If Davis is out of the way, then the pit bulls can go after Issa and raise the specter of another Simon, while the appointed governor can play "let's take the high road and concentrate on fixing this mess" and since he's the appointed governor, make sure his name is on the ballot, too.

      MtG, I think the recall is personal to Davis. So if he resigns and is succeeded by the Lt. Gov., I don't think there will be a recall election.
      Section 11302, Cal. Elec. Code:

      CALIFORNIA CODES
      ELECTIONS CODE
      SECTION 11300-11303




      11302. If a vacancy occurs in an office after a recall petition is
      filed against the vacating officer, the recall election shall
      nevertheless proceed. The vacancy shall be filled as provided by
      law, but any person appointed to fill the vacancy shall hold office
      only until a successor is selected in accordance with Article 4
      (commencing with Section 11360) or Article 5 (commencing with Section
      11380), and the successor qualifies for that office.

          OK, MtG, we are going to have a recall election sometime between Sept. 22 and Oct. 12, the 60-80 window. Davis would be wise to resign and allow another Democrat to run "uncontested" in the recall election. Since he is unwise, the Dems should demand it.

            Davis lost his only current campaign bit "The republicans are manipulating the budgets crisis for political gain" when a dozen democ-rats in the legislature were caught on an open mike plotting tp manipulate the budget crisis for political gain.

                The people are saying the Republicans screwed up by not offering them a viable alternative and the people aparently want another shot at kicking Davis to the curb.

                  Unless someone has a viable plan to solve the budget crisis, this is just more political games.

                    Davis Go Home!!!

                    I hate that S.O.B. he is a liar, a cheat, a phony, and a fraud...

                    Sava; if the ppl really spoke when they voted him last election than why his approval rating some low, lowest in almost 100 years!

                    I think it has to do with all the BS legislation he has been medling with, as well as the partenering from campeign contributers that has finally come out...

                    This guy stinks of pearsonal interest... I would rather have you (Sava) running this state then him...

                      AH-nold has been, in each of many different endenvors, bussiness and otherwise, far more successful than you will ever be in any one. You are quite quick to dissmiss persons of monumentally greater achievement than youself.

                        They didn't like Davis, they liked Simon less, and they didn't realize at the time that Davis and his budget office lied about the extent of the pending budget crisis. If Davis had been truthful at that time, it's at least a reasonable possibility that even Simon would have beaten Davis, because people would realize (i.e. Dem voters) that Simon's social conservatism would go nowhere in a Dem controlled legislature, but his fiscal management would go further than Davis's excuse for the same.

                        At this point, even a majority of registered Democrats want Davis out.

                          Big Deal... Andrew Dice Clay is more successful than probably 99.99% of Poly Users, should he be our president?

                          and BTW, Ah-nold made his money saying "I'll be back", and not by being an economics wiz... if you think ah-nold is a good choice to alleviate the budget crisis, show me his plan... and not more stupid claims of "bnllaaahhh arnold is more successful than you so he'd make a great governor"...

                            It's good to see somebody can present rational information to support the recall, rather than idiotic claims of success comparisons to myself.

                            BTW, it seems like a lot of the same people bashing Davis for his fiscal policy are the same one's giving Bush a pass on his. (not you though MtG)

                            Show me a candidate with a solution. Everyone can point out the problem.

                              I remember the last election where every body wrote Davis off. This guy is a consummate politician and an expert at the smear campaign. Issa has a lot of skeletons in his closet and I'm betting Davis puts a pork chop around his kneck and then sick’s the dogs on him.

                              It might not save Davis but if one politician can make the other guy look even worse then he is it is Davis.

                                Very true... I think Issa can even do a better job.

                                I will say that the budget problem is not entirely Davis' fault even though he made the energy deals that have us paying at least 10 times more for power than any other state... Yet, to see him stand around while the senate attempts to do something when he should be breathing down their throats, to see him slash school funding first of all things, to see him raise car registrations, to see him raise state taxes, while I watch him make big deals with the sheriffs for more prisons that are less needed than power plants and educated children!

                                I don't mind paying more for power, I don't mind paying more to register my car, I don't even mind the tax increase... Yet, to watch what he spends that money on is shocking, and to watch what he takes it from is horrendous... And, yes, it is all his fault even with national security increases and a failing economy... It is all his fault due to his bad negotiating skills and lack of attention to the job at hand instead of focusing on lobbyist saying you should for run for congress... F' him, but in an 8th grader for all I care, that is a better canidate...

                                So don't give me this show mje a candidate I already have, I nominate Sava! An 8th grader! Arnold (the pig or actor)! Because I don't really care as long as they bother to do their job, and to do it right, it ain't that hard! +8billion to -80billion says enough for me.

                                Who will I vote for?

                                Who is winning in the poles... unless it's Davis, but I am sure that he won't be...
