Ah, California, land of the recall. It's still unreal to me that only a year after we elected a governor we're going to choose whether or not to un-elect him. Not that Grey Davis is the world's greatest governor, but he IS the duly elected man for the job and this recall is setting a terrible precedent.
Look at the small Sonoma town of Rohnert Park It seems that the City Council there decided to work with an Indian tribe in regards to their plan to build a new casino just outside the town limits. Rohnert Park residents who don't want to live near a casino have now launched a drive to recall the entire City Council. I suspect this is only the first in a long line of recall efforts.

Hey Welcome to Democracy. Where the people can recall those unfit (or thought so) by the people they're supposed to serve. Service-especially by the politicians-is terribly lacking in this country. Hopefully California will start a new trend in holding candidates/politicians accountable for their actions.
