I have misgivings about the attempt to recall Gray Davis, which now looks like a sure thing. He’s a lousy governor, of course, but Californians essentially had a chance to recall him last year, when he was up for re-election. Also, I wonder what benefit conservatives will derive from a recall vote whose result may simply be replacing an unpopular Democrat with one who will be able to blame problems on his predecessor and face voters in 2006 as a kind of un-Davis Dem. Having said all that, the recall is an important story and an interesting one. Whenever I’m following California politics, I turn to this website: Rough & Tumble.
