I thought this one was pretty good. As most of you know Govornor Grey Davis will have to face a recall election in the next two months and as many as 60 candidates have lined up to run for his office. Having so many candidates running for govornor means that it is very possible, even likely, that if Davis is recalled his replacement will have a very small percentage of the total vote.
Lately Davis's legal team has been feverishly trying to figure out how to save the Govornor's political career and keep him in the Govornor's seat. It appears they might have just found the loop hole which will allow them to do just that. You see the California Supreme Court has ruled that the recall and then the replacement vote are two seporate elections so it is possible for a person to vote no on the recall but still vote for who they'd like to be govornor incase the recall succeeds (a right wing republican group had argued that anyone who voted no on the recall didn't have a right to vote for the next govornor. Luckily, the court throw the Republican plot to disinfranchise half the state's voters out). So what does this mean to Davis? It means that legally Davis can officially run as a replacement for his own recall since the recall and the election are two seporate elections.
Polsters are saying that dispite Davis's low poll standings in the polls he might actually get the most votes because the other 50 candidates will split the other votes up in so many ways that Davis would win the election. What do you guys think? Will Davis be recalled and then win the election to replace himself?
This is to damn good!
